A claim is a statement that something is true. To identify a claim, you can look for a definitive statement or assertion being made. It distinguishes itself as a statement that can be backed up with evidence or reasoning. A claim should be factual and accurate, and it is not necessarily an appeal to emotion or a call to action.
