HEL Why is clarifying your claim the first step in planning an argument?

You cannot identify possible counterclaims if you don’t know what you think.

Everything else in your plan will need to support your claim.

If you don’t understand your own claim, you will confuse readers.

Planning an argument requires you to identify several claims you will use.

The right answer is actually B: Everything else in your plan will need to support your claim.

Explanation:

i would like to compare these two interpretations of the crucible : 1) eric christ's interretation and wade bradford's interpretation. the main differences between there interretaions is that in the first one you can notice direct link to joseph mccarthy whereas the second one represents how the town is filled with hysteria.the second interpretation shows that author believes that the story   about puritan town in salem is based on actual events while the first example shows the sencible reference to sort of bias.

halibut, flounder, tuna, and trout are all fish. so your first answer is 1.) fish. and since fish is edible, your next answer would be 3). edible

to describe those fishes more thoroughly, some of those fishes live in fresh water, and some of the fishes live in salt water, and that is not a thing that they all have in common. the question is asking what is common with all of the fish, so answer choices 2). fresh water and 4). salt water are not right.
