Explanation:

A claim is considered as a statement that explains someone's position regarding some topic or issue, because of this claims should not be facts or explain how something is; instead, a claim should introduce the topic and the position of the author about this. Considering Tyler needs to demonstrate the importance of the custodian of Jefferson Middle School, he will need a strong claim that introduces the topic and explains why the custodian of Jefferson Middle School is important. Because of this, option C "Mr. Morris is a quiet hero at Jefferson Middle School who works hard to make the school a great place to work and learn" is the most effective claim as it introduces the name of the custodian of the school "Mr. Morris" and explains why he is important "who works hard to make the school a great place to work and learn", additionally to this it also expresses the position of Tyler who considers this custodian as "hero", all these elements create a strong a defined position (claim) that is not about facts but about the position of Tyler which is the objective of a claim.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
