The claim refers to the assertion of something commonly without proof or evidence.
When writing an essay claims are generally made out of cultural common knowledge which is shared with the readers. An essay consisting of just common knowledge doesn't attract readers or interest them by stating what is obvious.
When providing a claim evidence is necessary which asserts "how do you know?"
Hence in the above claim, evidence which best supports is many animals die prematurely in zoos because they are exposed to infectious diseases.
As the claim declares the condition of the zoo for improving health conditions and safety. Due to unhealthy conditions animals die prematurely due to infections and diseases.
The literary theme here is that women have a difficult time because nobody takes them seriously, or at least that's what it was like in the first half of the 20th century. Many people believed that women shouldn't be taken seriously and shouldn't have things like voting rights or rights to work or similar things because they were considered to be less serious than men, and that's putting it nicely because many people were not nice to them.
