Which questions does a reader need to ask to find a claim?
What evidence does the author have

What issue is the arguement about

What reasons are given for the position

What is the author’s position on the issue

What’ does the author want to convince me of?

A reader needs to ask, what does the author want to convince you of.

Explanation:

If asking the authors position, you will only find the opinion of the author. While this can also be used to find a claim it isn't always the most effective.

If asking what the issue is in general, you can't find the authors claim from the start.

If asking the reasons, that will help you find the reasoning, not the claim.

you didn't provide the passage.

explanation:

seeing as this is your first question on i can see why you may have not known that you need to provide the passage.

without the passage, or even the name of the passage, we can not read the passage, therefore we can not determine when or how the pacing effects the tone.

however, you can either repost this question (providing the passage this time)

or you can comment below what the passage is, and i'll you to the best of my ability!
