The correct answer to this open question is the following.

This is a blanket statement about something. It is used as a strategy to convince readers of the truth of the writer's position. It is called a categorical claim.

Categorical claims are sentences that could be interpreted as alleging a relation between two things. When it is categorical, the statement is divided into the quantifier, the subject term, the copula, the predicate term. An example of categorical claims could be: "all Tigers are felines."
