What should a writer include when formulating a strong claim in an argumentative essay? Choose three correct answers.

A strong claim identifies the topic and states the writer’s viewpoint on it. It should also point to the major reasons that support that viewpoint, giving the argument a clear direction. A detailed rebuttal belongs in the essay’s supporting discussion, not necessarily in the claim, and a claim should be reasoned rather than based on strong bias.
