Answer 1

The benefits of writing a claim include:

• A claim helps focus a text analysis.
• A claim identifies something specific that the reader learned from a story.
• A claim helps identify which text details to include in an analysis.

The other options are less accurate: while a claim can provide insights into a plot, it does not inherently provide an in-depth look or list all the things learned.
