What is the claim in the following paragraph?
The North and the Baltic Sea do not mix. The color of the water demonstrates that one sea has more salt than the other. The more salt a body of water has, the more dense the body of water is. The two bodies of water are two different colors demonstrating that one sea has more salt than the other sea. Thus the increase in salinity and subsequent increase in density cause the two bodies of water not to mix.

Crack! Thunder struck and rain poured. Max stared blankly out the window, trying to contain his emotions that raged like the weather. He was beginning to lose it. Dropping the kite from his hand, Max broke into full sobs. His mother comforted him, "there, there, Max. We'll just find something else to do." She began to unpack the picnic basket that was on the counter.
Infer: Why is Max upset?
The weather prevented him from going outside.
