Read the sample student claim.
If higher education was made free for everyone, I would be thrilled because more people would purse knowledge to obtain more successful careers.
Why is this not an effective claim?
It is a topic with two or more viewpoints.
It does not contain the writer’s opinion.
It is simply a personal preference or feeling.
It can not be supported by evidence.
The correct answer is: It is simply a personal preference or feeling.
Explanation: The sample student claim is not effective because it is simply a personal preference or feeling. It does not provide any logical or factual reasoning to support the claim. To be effective, a claim should clearly state the writer's opinion and provide evidence or reasoning to support it.
