Question

read this excerpt from compulsory voting: an idea whose time has come: so im not making this argument requiring citizens to vote in favor of any specific political party; i believe it will help us elect more effective and thoughtful leaders, regardless of their partisan views. what type of claim does the author use? a. claim of definition b. claim of policy c. claim of fact d. claim of value

Explanation:

A claim of policy argues for a specific action or change. The author advocates for compulsory voting (a policy) to achieve better leadership, which fits this category. A claim of definition focuses on defining terms, a claim of fact asserts what is true, and a claim of value judges worth, none of which match the author's argument for a required action.

Answer:

B. Claim of policy
