A claim is an author's stated position on a topic.

Explanation:

A claim is a statement that presents something with the demand of being true, it could be based on facts and evidence or it could be based on the personal perspective and deduction of the author, this is presented in a written piece of work and in the case of articles represents an important part of the foundation of the story.

it wouldnt be considered cheating as long as you dont copy the answered we give here word from word.

also remember that some online schools have things that can tell if you have copy and pasted anything into your report.

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
