Question 10 • LCS-Teacher Remediation-M/J Language Arts 3_Q1

Which statement would best serve as a claim for an argument?

Answer

Bicycle helmets gained popularity in the 1990s, when many states enacted safety legislation.

Bicycle helmets are available for purchase at bike shops, sporting good stores, and big-box outlet stores.

Bicycle helmets may not be the most fashionable accessory, but every biker needs this life-saving protection.

Bicycle helmets vary in style, shape, and color, and riders of all ages can select helmets tailored to their needs.

Explanation

A strong claim takes a position that someone could support with reasons and evidence. Choice C argues that every biker needs a helmet, even if helmets are not fashionable, so it gives an opinion that can be defended. The other choices mainly provide factual information about helmet history, availability, or variety.
