Question

question 1 of 20
which statement best explains why this is a strong claim?

testing on animals has many benefits and should be
continued.

a. it is reasonable and arguable.

b. it has only one side.

c. it is unproven.

d. it is unreasonable but easy to prove.

Explanation:

A strong claim in an argumentative context should be reasonable (based on some evidence or logic, like animal testing having medical benefits) and arguable (there are opposing views, e.g., animal rights advocates against it). Option B is wrong as strong claims should have opposing sides. Option C: A claim being unproven doesn't make it strong (e.g., baseless claims aren't strong). Option D: If it's unreasonable, it's not a strong claim, and "unreasonable but easy to prove" is contradictory. So A is correct as the claim about animal testing has reasons (benefits) and is debatable.

Answer:

A. It is reasonable and arguable.
