Answer
Brief Explanations:
- For the first question: An implicit claim is not directly stated but suggested. Option a fits as it mentions a claim suggested with evidence. Options b (direct statement) is explicit, c (repeated) and d (stated at beginning) don't define implicit.
- For the second question: Evidence backs up claims to strengthen an argument. Option b is correct. Option a (shorter writing) is not the purpose. Option c (avoid clear argument) is wrong. Option d (fill space) is not a valid reason.
Answer:
a. A claim that is suggested with evidence b. To strengthen your argument
