He was adopted

His parents are on vacation

His mother died

His father died

The reason that Max has to live with his grandparents is because his mom is dead, and his father is in jail. Now here's the real kicker. Max's father, Kenny Kane, is in prison for murdering his own wife. That is horrible, and what is worse is that Max witnessed the murder of his own mother.

The claim.

Explanation:

Let's look at what the sentence does.

"Topic [x], [y], and [z] are factors of [z]."

This is not a reason, as it doesn't attempt to explain anything.

There is no proof in the sentence itself, so it cannot be evidence.

It does not counter a previously made argument, it just sets forth a new claim - so your answer is A. The statement is a claim.
