 THE WRAP
 A claim is a piece of information that a writer believes to be true but
must be proven.
 A fact is something true and believable, based on tested, proven,
and accepted the evidence.
 A claim of policy refers to a procedure, solution, or a course of
action that a person believes to be best suited for a given problem
or a situation.
 Argumentative claims tend to represent only one perspective and
need to still be proven in order to be a general truth.
