Question

Read the following claim and then answer the question that follows:

Public school students should wear uniforms.

Which statement best describes the claim? (5 points)
a
The claim is effective.
b
The claim is ineffective because it does not state a clear position.
c
The claim is ineffective because it expresses a first person preference.
d
The claim is ineffective because it suggests the essay will inform rather than argue.

Answer 1

The answer would be d.

We can deduce that it would not be a, as it is no effective.

B is not the right answer, as it does state a clear position.

C is not right, either, as it is not expressing a first-person preference.
