What can you infer about the purposes and aims of the author of the play. Arch Oboler, based on this short monologue?

- "about the claims : -

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)

i'm not sure what the second paragraph is but a decree is an official order issued by legal authority. find the one that best fits this definition.
