Question

Which sentence contains a claim that cannot be supported with evidence? (3) There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again. But why, some say, the moon? . . . .

Answer 1

The sentence 'There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet' contains a theoretical claim that cannot be supported with evidence due to the absence of social contexts as experienced on Earth, in the vacuum of space.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that contains a claim which cannot be supported with evidence is: "There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet." This sentence presents a claim about the absence of human social conflicts in space, which is a theoretical statement reflecting the current human experience in space and cannot be supported with concrete evidence since it deals with the absence of a situation rather than its presence. Furthermore, it draws from the fact that few people have been to space, and there hasn't been a large enough social context for these issues to manifest as they do on Earth. Future developments could make this claim invalid if national or prejudicial conflicts were to develop in space.
