Question

Read the passage.

Answer 1

The first two sentences can be classified as positions and the last three sentences can be classified as claims.

How should these classifications be made?

• A sentence can be classified as a claim when it presents a certainty.
• This certainty is created through evidence, which confirms to the speaker that the claim is real and must be believed.
• A position presents a speaker's opinion.
• Although a position also needs evidence to be created, it represents the speaker's personal view on a given subject.

In other words, the claim represents a fact-based argument, while the position presents the author's perspective.
