I think the third statement, "The new highway exit should not be built near the elementary school because it will increase noise and traffic," is the best example because it states sub-claims that support the overall claim.

Answer from: ivanf30

The correct answer is C. The new highway exit should not be built near the elementary school because it will increase noise and traffic.

Explanation:

An argumentative essay is a type of text written with the purpose of explaining and supporting the position of the author towards some topic or situation, because of this, argumentative essays develop around a main claim or thesis statement. Additionally, for a thesis statement to be valid and correct it is necessary that the claim or thesis should present a position instead of one opinion or fact, which means in most cases the use of the pronoun "I" or words such as "feel", "think" or "believe" should be avoided and on second place the claim needs to be debatable, which means the claim it is not assumed as valid itself but needs to be explained and supported.

Bearing in mind the previous ideas, the best example of a claim is "The new highway exit should not be built near the elementary school because it will increase noise and traffic" because this statement clearly expresses a position and not only a fact or opinion as in other options and is debatable, which make it suitable for being used in an argumentative essay.
