Question

which statements best describe an effective claim in an argumentative essay? select two options.
□ it is precise and clear.
□ it is debatable but cannot be refuted.
□ it is emotional and states an opinion.
□ it states a bias using clear language.
□ it states a fact using precise language.

Explanation:

An effective claim in an argumentative essay should be precise and clear so that the reader understands the stance. Also, it should state a fact using precise language to provide a solid basis for the argument. A claim that is emotional, states an opinion, or a bias is not as effective. A claim should be debatable but also able to be refuted in a counter - argument context, so the "cannot be refuted" part in the second option is incorrect.

Answer:

A. It is precise and clear.
E. It states a fact using precise language.
