Explanation

A claim is a statement that takes a position and can be supported with reasons or evidence. Saying budgeting is an important skill for teenagers to develop is an arguable judgment, so it is a claim. The other statements mainly describe a possible outcome, report what experts suggest, or give an example of a practice.
