Answer 1

A categorical claim typically asserts a relationship between two categories or groups without ambiguity. Among the statements provided, the one that most resembles a categorical claim is:

"Either you will come to my party, or you don't care about me at all."

This statement presents a dichotomy and asserts a definitive categorization regarding the outcome of attending the party and the person's feelings.

The other statements are more subjective or conditional in nature rather than categorical.
