Each of these excerpts is from a different introduction. Which excerpt establishes a claim?

Answer

Think about the last time you had to take a standardized test. Many students take several standardized tests throughout their school careers.
B
Do you think your education is as good as the education of students in other countries? Recent statistics show that several countries are falling behind.
C
You may have heard about recent cuts in arts education funding. Yet the arts are crucial to helping develop problem-solving, innovation, and creativity.
D
Do you know anyone who has cheated on an exam? A recent poll showed that most students know someone who has cheated or have cheated themselves.

Explanation

A claim is a position or argument that the writer will support with reasons or evidence. Choice A makes the arguable claim that arts education is crucial for developing problem-solving, innovation, and creativity. The other excerpts mainly pose a question or introduce a topic with information rather than state a claim.
