A:
Claim:动词="To state to be true,to assert or maintain..."
(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

B:
Proclaim:动词

"to announce or state publicly" = Lin Dan was proclaimed the champion of the
badminton tournament.公开宣布
(2)
Idi Amin launched a coup and proclaimed himself the president of
Uganda.宣告
(3)
Prince William was proclaimed the King of Spain.宣告
最后说一下词根pro,
表示“向前,在前”
比如
profess 公开表明,坦白(pro+fess说→在前面说坦白)
那么proclaim公开宣告（pro+claim声明→在前面声明,就是公开宣告）
学习英语,如果举一反三,就容易多了
再问： claim还能拆分吗？
再答： 这个应该不可以了
