Part 1. Definition
Given a paragraph, generate a claim that is supported by the given paragraph. 1) The claim must contain information from within the paragraph. 2) A sentence within the paragraph can be used as a claim. 3) The claim should not have contradictions within the paragraph. 4) The claim should be at most one sentence long.
Part 2. Example
"Although the story didn't cite the cost of appendectomy emergency or urgent surgery and we wish it had, we nonetheless will give it a satisfactory score because it at least cited what the editorial writer wrote, ""A secondary benefit is the savings to the hospital generated by minimizing staff and anesthesiologist presence late in the evening and during the wee hours of the morning."" As with our harms score above, although the story didn't give absolute numbers, in this case we think it was sufficient for it to report that ""The scientists found no significant difference among the groups in the patients' condition 30 days after surgery or in the length of their operation or hospital stay."" Although the story didn't give absolute numbers, in this case we think it was sufficient for it to report that ""The scientists found no significant difference among the groups in the patients' condition 30 days after surgery or in the length of their operation or hospital stay."" Despite running less than 300 words, this story did an adequate job in explaining the quality of the evidence, including pointing out limitations. No disease-mongering here. The story meets the bare minimum requirement for this criterion in that it at least cited what an editorial stated. The focus of the story was on a study comparing emergency appendectomy with surgery done up to 12 hours later or beyond. This is the whole focus of the story and one we applaud when it begins: ""Appendectomy is the most common emergency surgery in the world, but it doesn't have to be."" There were no claims made about the novelty of this research, and we may have wished for a bit more context on this. Nonetheless, the potential for guiding future care decisions was made clear. Not applicable. Given that the story only pulled excerpts from the journal article and the accompanying editorial, and didn't include any fresh quotes from interviews, we can't be sure of the extent to which it may have been influenced by a news release."
Answer: Some appendicitis cases may not require 'emergency' surgery
Explanation: The paragraph mentions that "Appendectomy is the most common emergency surgery in the world, but it doesn't have to be." which is considered evidence for the output. Thus, the output is a valid claim.
Part 3. Exercise
Proudly gay and living with HIV, the 41-year-old activist says the rainbow flag will not be his only cause. He intends to begin his congressional career with three main agenda points: Fighting endemic corruption, ensuring Guatemalans' right to health care and defending human rights, with a focus on the LGBTQ community. "I'm happy, with a lot of mixed feelings," Davila said in an interview with The Associated Press. "The worry is I'm putting myself in a snake pit. But at the same time I'm no slouch, and I'm ready and able to fight when it needs to be done." While it hasn't been officially confirmed by electoral authorities, experts say Davila's left-wing Winaq party won four congressional seats in Sunday's general election, and he is set to represent a Guatemala City district. "People have to see me as just another citizen, since I was elected democratically," Davila said. Guatemala has taken baby steps toward guaranteeing LGBTQ rights, such as adopting measures to identify hate crimes against members of the community and allowing people to change their legal names and choose how they appear in photos on official IDs, which let transgender people better express their identity. It remains a socially conservative society, however, with the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant faiths dominant. Prejudice and fears over HIV are deeply rooted, and LGTBQ people have historically been the targets of discrimination and sometimes assault, although such treatment is slowly becoming less socially acceptable. Neither Davila's name nor photo was on the ballot only the name of his party and he didn't emphasize his sexuality during the campaign. So Gabriela Tuch, a lawyer and former human rights prosecutor focusing on the LGBTQ community, said his election can't be attributed to any significant shift in attitudes. "It's not that society has said, 'A gay man, affirmative action, let's vote for him,'" Tuch said. "He was favored by the votes and the position he was in. Now the challenge begins." One of the congressman-elect's first battles will be opposing a bill proposed by the conservative party that would criminalize abortion and codify into law that same-sex couples are barred from marrying or adopting children. He also intends to propose a new commission that would report and investigate all kinds of discrimination. "You cannot be a spectator when your country is falling apart," Davila said. "You have to take a leading role." That's why Davila was motivated to accept an offer to run for the party, founded in 2009 by Nobel Peace Prize-winner Rigoberta Menchu. Davila lives in Guatemala City with his partner of 19 years and their gray Schnauzer, Valentino. Davila said both inspire his activism and political participation. He said he considers himself lucky because he has the love and support of family members who were always open and accepting of his sexuality. His mother went with him to the country's first Pride march in 2000. Until recently Davila was the director of Positive People, an organization supporting those living with HIV. He said that people have often come to him with complaints about discrimination, and that he himself was once dismissed from a job. "Look, here are my diplomas and my trophies," Davila said. "But they fired me because they found out that I'm gay, and that's how things are here." Davila said that when he was 22 he suffered from meningitis, which ultimately led him to discover that he had HIV. Today he is in good health, but he knows some may not understand how the virus is transmitted and may be afraid. "It's very hard, of course, that they're not even going to want to sit next to me," he said. "In this country people should no longer be dying of AIDS," Davila continued. "It's the stigma and the discrimination that kill you, and the lack of medicine." Jose Arriaza, a 24-year-old who identifies as queer, said Davila's election gives him hope because he now sees himself being represented. Guatemalans will have to learn to accept diversity, he added. He "isn't your typical privileged white man, like a majority of the congressmen nowadays," Arriaza said. "For me he's an example to follow, because he is someone empowered with ideals that help the community." Carlos Valenzuela, a 36-year-old openly gay business administrator, agreed. "It's fantastic because what we most want is to feel represented," Valenzuela said. "All minorities should be represented." Davila said his path was paved by Sandra Moran, the first Guatemalan lawmaker who openly identified as lesbian. "She is a courageous woman who inspired me," he said. But she didn't have it easy, and was even insulted on occasion by some of her colleagues over her sexual orientation. Davila, who said he's been subjected to verbal abuse since he was young, is prepared to possibly go through the same thing. "A worker at congress called me and congratulated me and told me to prepare myself," Davila said. "But I will try to not respond to the attacks." "With all the homophobia there is," he added, "they could even boot me from my seat." Davila criticized those who have pushed legislation limiting sexual diversity rights and said he does not believe Guatemalan society will change its views in the short term. "We have to do a lot of work on educating, in demanding that the state be secular and for the church to stop intervening in things that don't concern it," he said. "We need to rule with the Constitution and not the Bible."
