In this paragraph, statement 2 is the claim because it presents an opinion or position. Statement 3 is the reason because it provides justification for why children should receive an allowance. Statement 1 is the evidence because it provides support for the claim and reason, showing that children who earn an allowance spend their money more carefully. The statements should appear in the following order: statement 2 (claim), statement 3 (reason), statement 1 (evidence). This structure allows for the claim to be introduced, followed by the reason that supports it, and then the evidence that further reinforces the claim and reason.
