Read the following claim and then answer the question that follows:

Public school students should wear uniforms.

Which statement best describes the claim?

The claim is effective.

The claim is ineffective because it does not state a clear position.

The claim is ineffective because it expresses a first person preference.

The claim is ineffective because it suggests the essay will inform rather than argue.

I think B. As it is more someone's opinion and doesn't really state a clear position. I'll confirm later if I discover I'm wrong

Let's look at the three statements that the claim is ineffective:

The claim is ineffective because it does not state a clear position.

-but it does state a very clear position! false!

The claim is ineffective because it expresses a first person preference.

-there is no mention of a first person preference here

The claim is ineffective because it suggests the essay will inform rather than argue.

-this is not true, it suggests that the essay will argue rather than inform.

So in total, the correct answer must be: The claim is effective.
