Question

the death penalty does not deter crime and should therefore be abolished in the united states. this is an example of which type of claim? a. claim of policy b. claim of fact c. claim of definition d. claim of value

Explanation:

A claim of policy argues that a specific action should or should not be taken. The statement advocates for abolishing the death penalty, which is a call for a policy change. A claim of fact asserts something is true/false, a claim of definition focuses on categorization, and a claim of value judges goodness/badness, none of which match the prescriptive action here.

Answer:

A. Claim of policy
