To identify the reasons to get a claim peer reviewed, we can analyze each statement:

1. A peer review verifies conclusions: This is a valid reason. The purpose of a peer review is to ensure that the evidence, methodologies, and conclusions of a claim are sound and supported by the available data.

2. A peer review proves everyone else wrong: This statement is incorrect. The goal of a peer review is not to prove others wrong, but rather to critically evaluate and provide feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of a claim. It aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of the claim, not to promote a competition or to prove others wrong.

3. A peer review maintains standards of the field: This is a valid reason. Peer-reviewed research plays a crucial role in upholding the quality and integrity of scientific and academic fields. Peer review helps ensure that claims meet the required standards of evidence, methodology, and ethics.

4. A peer review identifies sources of errors: This is another valid reason. Peer reviewers carefully examine the claim to identify any potential flaws or weaknesses in the methodology, data analysis, or interpretation. They can provide constructive feedback to help address and correct any errors or biases.

5. A peer review gains direct funding: This statement is incorrect. Peer review is not typically performed with the aim of gaining direct funding. Its main purpose is to ensure the quality and validity of claims rather than securing financial support.

Therefore, the correct reasons for getting a claim peer reviewed are:
- A peer review verifies conclusions.
- A peer review maintains standards of the field.
- A peer review identifies sources of errors.
