The claim.
In a written argument the thesis or claim is presented first; then you give reasons that support it, and back those reasons with evidence (facts/statistics, examples, personal experience, etc.). Note: some pieces begin with a brief hook or anecdote, but the central claim still underlies the argument and is introduced up front.
