Explanation:

A debatable claim is a statement that can be argued against with evidence, as it is not a verifiable fact.

1. "The number of immigrants allowed to stay in the country is affecting job availability for others" is debatable: research and data can be used to support or refute this link between immigration and job access.
2. "Immigrants are responsible for many of the advances in technology and other areas of industry" is debatable: while there is evidence of immigrant contributions, the extent of this responsibility can be contested, and alternative factors driving advances can be cited.

The other options are verifiable facts with no room for reasonable debate.

Answer:

• The number of immigrants allowed to stay in the country is affecting job availability for others.
• Immigrants are responsible for many of the advances in technology and other areas of industry.
