1 claim: This is correct. To "claim" something is true means to state that it is true (although this might not necessarily be the case). Example: "Boris claims that he wrote this essay alone, but his teachers have their doubts".
2 narrowly: This is correct. "Narrowly" describes a very small margin. It can refer to something physical, like a truck avoiding a collision, or something like a contest or competition that was "close" or "tight". In the article, we read that Houston "narrowly" defeated New Orleans in a competition for the "fattest" American city.
3 tainted: The adjective "tainted" describes something, such as evidence or data, which is invalid or compromised. The term "tainted evidence" is often used in legal contexts to describe evidence which is inadmissible in court due to the way that it was obtained for example. In this article, scientists were worried that their data were tainted because of the surprising results.
