Question

children who watch television for four or more hours a day are more likely to be obese. this sentence is an example of which type of claim? a. claim of fact b. claim of cause and effect c. claim of definition d. claim of value

Explanation:

A claim of cause and effect asserts that one event or action (here, 4+ hours of daily TV watching) leads to another outcome (higher obesity likelihood). This matches the given statement, as it links TV viewing to increased obesity risk. A claim of fact states a verifiable truth without causal link, a claim of definition clarifies term meanings, and a claim of value judges worth, none of which fit this statement.

Answer:

B. Claim of cause and effect
