A claim can be defined as a statement that something is true. It is a statement or proposition that declares something to be the case. When a claim is made, it is important to provide evidence or proof to support it. This evidence is what helps establish the accuracy and validity of the claim. So, in order to determine if a claim is true, one must evaluate the evidence or proof provided.
