Writing an Argumentative Editorial about Initiating Change — Unit test

Question 6 • SLAE 26-27 ENGLISH 12.1

Which statement best expresses a claim?

Answer
A
Although many people believe homework is a crucial part of school, there is evidence to suggest that homework may not be as valuable as once thought.
B
The amount of homework given by some high school teachers is insane and actually has negative effects on other important aspects of a student’s life.
C
I would have so much more time to do the extracurricular activities and hobbies I enjoy if I did not have to spend most of my evenings doing homework.
D
Some schools have adopted homework policies that limit the amount of homework that teachers are allowed to assign their students each night.

Explanation

A makes a debatable statement about homework’s value: it suggests homework may be less valuable than people believe, and evidence could be used to support or challenge that idea. B is also opinionated, but its exaggerated wording (“insane”) makes it less suitable as a clear, well-supported claim. C describes a personal feeling, while D states a fact about some schools’ policies.
