B isn't a claim.
To determine which statement is not a claim, we need to understand what a claim is. A claim is a statement that asserts something to be true or false, and it can be supported or refuted through evidence or logical reasoning.
A) "Life exists on planets other than Earth" is a claim. It asserts that there is life on other planets.
B) "Dare to stay off drugs!" is not a claim. It is an imperative sentence that gives a command or instruction, rather than making a factual assertion.
C) "Something's force equals its mass multiplied by its acceleration" is a claim. It presents a scientific equation that makes a factual assertion about the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
D) "Joe owns a pet dog" is a claim. It asserts that Joe is a pet owner.
Therefore, the statement that is not a claim is B) "Dare to stay off drugs!"
