A CLAIM is an arguable statement. It

true. To support—use factual evidence that is sufficient,
reliable and appropriate. This claim is basically
debatable yet verifiable.

in the present and how they will be in the future
Examples:

Php 4.1 trillion, which is 12 percent larger than
the 2019 budget, can really help in boosting the
economy through various infrastructural
projects.
2. Being the richest city in the country, the City
