Statement 2 can be identified as the claim in this paragraph. It is a statement that presents a viewpoint or a belief. Statement 3 serves as the reason for the claim, providing an explanation for why children should receive an allowance. Finally, statement 1 acts as evidence to support the reason provided in statement 3. It presents the findings of a study that suggests children who earned an allowance spent their money more carefully. Therefore, the correct order for the statements in the paragraph would be: Statement 2 (claim), Statement 3 (reason), and Statement 1 (evidence).
