A student is developing a claim about art and theater education in schools. Which of these claims is fair, focused, and complex?(1 point)

There are many ways that art and theater classes benefit students academically and socially.

Schools should focus on teaching useful subjects rather than wasting time and money on the arts.

The arts have been a major part of society since ancient times, and we are doomed if we do not honor them.

Art and theater classes are important to society, and so we need to offer them at school.

Answer: "There are many ways that art and theater classes benefit students academically and socially."

Why: It's balanced (not extreme), focused (specifies the kinds of benefits to examine), and complex (opens room to develop several lines of evidence and counterarguments). The others are either biased or hyperbolic (2 dismisses the arts, 3 is alarmist), or too general/weak as an argumentative claim (4).
