Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

The claim that all monomers in a polymer are covalently bonded is false, as supramolecular polymers and ionomers rely heavily on noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding and ionic forces to link or organize monomer units.

The analysis

The claim states an absolute rule about polymers that is contradicted by the existence of supramolecular polymers and ionomeric systems. These classes of polymers rely on non-covalent bonds (such as hydrogen bonds, ionic interactions, and hydrophobic forces) to form and maintain their polymeric networks or assemblies. Therefore, the claim is incorrect.
