Question

what is the purpose of the following two claims? to foster individual creativity and protect family time, homework should be limited to no more than one hour per night. the stereotype of the dumb jock is insulting and just plain incorrect. to respond to a statement you agree or disagree with to persuade someone to do something to convince someone of your position to challenge a commonly held view

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first claim: Limiting homework to one hour per night goes against the common view that more homework is better for learning/creativity, challenging that norm.
2. Analyze the second claim: The "dumb jock" stereotype is a widely held (though incorrect) view, and the claim challenges its validity.
3. Evaluate other options:

• "Respond to a statement you agree/disagree with" – there's no stated prior statement to respond to.
• "Persuade someone to do something" – neither claim is asking for an action (like "do X"), but stating a position.
• "Convince of your position" – while related, the key is challenging a pre - existing common view (like the idea that more homework is necessary, or that jocks are dumb), rather than just convincing of a new position in a vacuum. So "to challenge a commonly held view" fits best.

Answer:

to challenge a commonly held view
