Explanation:

A claim is a statement about some issue that reflects the position of someone on some situation, in this case the author's position is that "Antibiotics are not always prescribed correctly"; additionally, for this position or claim to be valid it needs to be correctly supported, it means the author needs to provide evidence such as examples, statistics, scientific or research studies to show what he is claiming is true. In this case this evidence is taken from the "National Center for Biotechnology Information" (an information center that is part of the National Library of Medicine) and shows the percentage of cases in which antibiotics were not prescribed correctly for two reasons the first one is that the antibiotic was not the correct one and the second one is when the antibiotic is the correct but the dosage (amount of time) is not.

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
