Detailed Instructions: 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.
See one example below:
Problem: "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."
Solution: 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.

Problem: Wednesday marks one of several dates when large blocks of new laws take effect in Connecticut. Some of the latest new laws: ___ TAX CHANGES A handful of items and services will be subjected to the state's 6.35% sales tax as of Jan. 1. They include safety apparel, metered and other previously exempt parking, dry cleaning and laundry, other than coin operated. Interior design services for individuals will also become taxable in 2020. Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont originally unveiled plans in early 2019 to create a level playing field and expand Connecticut's sales tax base by repealing various exemptions and imposing the tax on certain tax-free goods and services, from haircuts to child car seats. He told lawmakers that expanding Connecticut's tax base "helps to make the sales tax more robust, fairer, and raises the revenue we need to get our budget into balance." But like past governors who tried the same thing, Lamont faced strong opposition and ultimately agreed to this much shorter list of sales tax changes. Lamont and lawmakers did agree to repeal the state's biannual $250 business entity tax, an unpopular fee charged to most businesses in Connecticut. ___ MENTAL HEALTH Certain health insurance policies will no longer be able to impose more stringent limits on mental health and substance abuse, compared to other illnesses, beginning Jan. 1. Also under the state's new Mental Health Parity Act, substance abuse services must be covered if they are required by a court. "Diseases of the brain should not be treated any differently than diseases of the body, and Connecticut's laws should reflect that," Lamont said when he signed the bill into law in July. Beginning in March 2021, insurance companies will be required to file annual reports with the state, certifying they're complying with the new parity law. Required coverage under certain policies for breast ultrasounds and hearings aids will also be expanded in the new year. ___ BLIGHTED BUILDINGS A new law authorizes a Superior Court judge to appoint a "receiver," an entity or a person, to take over rehabilitating or disposing abandoned properties industrial, residential or commercial in communities with at least 35,000 inhabitants. Interested parties can petition the court to take over a property that has been abandoned for at least a year. The legislation is considered to be another tool for municipalities to address blight. Among other things, Connecticut's cities and towns can impose fines and special assessments on owners of blighted properties, and create agencies that can condemn abandoned and blighted buildings and transfer ownership to qualified homesteaders. ___ DRIVER'S LICENSES Connecticut drivers may not have to spend as much time in the Department of Motor Vehicles as they used to. A new law allows the DMV commissioner to renew driver's licenses up to every eight years, instead of every six years. The legislation also extends the length of time between registration renewals from two years to three years. Fees for an initial license, which is limited to seven years, are $84. For an eight-year license renewal, they will be $96, which is proportionate to the $72 fee for previous initial and renewed six-year licenses. It works out to be $12 a year. Lamont has predicted the changes will lead to shorter wait times for those who need to conduct business in person at the DMV. It is part of the administration's efforts to streamline interactions residents have with state government. ___ POLICE TRAINING The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection will now be required to expand its free training on juvenile matters for state and local police. Beginning Jan. 1, it must include techniques for handling incidents involving juveniles and adults with autism spectrum disorder, nonverbal learning disorder or cognitive impairment. Emergency medical services personnel, firefighters, police officers and others will also be required to keep a paper or electronic copy of a "communication aid" that describes techniques to serve and interact with juveniles with such impairments.
Solution:
Tax changes, mental health parity among new Connecticut laws.
