Passage A is not an argument because it lacks which type of claim?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking to determine why Passage A is not considered an argument, specifically which criteria it fails to meet. It suggests two possible reasons: lacking a factual claim or lacking an inferential claim.

More Information

Passages that lack an inferential claim do not attempt to prove or support a conclusion, which is necessary to form an argument.

Tips

Make sure to identify whether the passage contains a statement intended to prove or suggest something; otherwise, it may not qualify as an argument.
