In the context of an argument, what is best defined as a claim?

  1. A premise

  2. A conclusion

  3. A warrant

  4. An assertion

The correct answer is: An assertion

A premise is a statement or idea that is used to support a conclusion. A conclusion is the final judgement or decision after considering evidence and reasoning. A warrant is the justification or reasoning behind a claim. An assertion is a statement that is made without evidence or support, and therefore is not the best definition of a claim in the context of an argument.
