Question

Which statement includes a rebuttal? A. While I can see Dixon's point, it's clear that he hasn't considered how the monument will affect American Indians. B. Dixon's evidence is thin, making his claim weak and his argument pointless. C. Instead of building a monument to the pioneers, we should spend the time and money helping to heal those people the pioneers displaced. D.

Answer 1

Correct answer would be A.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is While I can see Dixon's point, it's clear that he hasn't considered how the monument will affect American Indians.

Explanation:

A rebuttal is defined as a contradiction to an argument; the opposing point of view has to be clear, the evidence used should be accurate and personal attacks should be avoided.

In the correct answer we can see the main argument (Dixon's point of view about) and the speakers opinion as the contradiction (the things Dixon has not considered yet.)
