The answer is D. A statement that shares a writer's viewpoint on an issue

Explanation:

In argumentative and persuasive texts such as essays, the claim or thesis statement the author fo the text aims at proving as true and valid. This statement is not a simple opinion or fact but expresses the position and viewpoint of the author about a topic, situation event, etc. Additionally, during the body paragraph, the author needs to provide reliable and relevant evidence to explain and support the claim or position. Considering this, it can be concluded the author's claim is "a statement that shares a writer's viewpoint on an issue".

yeah, i think its a good thing what do you think?

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
