"As soon as I entered the house, my wife took me in her arms, and kissed me, at which, having not been used to the touch of that

odious animal for so many years, I fell in a swoon for almost an hour. At the time I am writing it is five years since my last return to England: during the first year I could not endure my wife or children in my presence, the very smell of them was intolerable, much less could I suffer them to eat in the same room. To this hour they dare not presume to touch my bread, or drink out of the same cup, neither was I ever able to let one of them take me by the hand. The first money I laid out was to buy two young stone-horses, which I keep in a good stable, and next to them the groom is my greatest favourite; for I feel my spirits revived by the smell he contracts in the stable. My horses understand me tolerably well; I converse with them at least four hours every day. They are strangers to bridle or saddle; they live in great amity with me, and friendship to each other. "

WHICH PRESENTS THE BEST REBUTTAL TO THE COUNTERCLAIM "BULLYING IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT AFFECT ME PERSONALLY
Vesnalui [34]

This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:

A. The best way to prevent bullying is to keep students off of social media outside of school hours.

B. Schools should have a strong support system in place to help some students cope with the emotional pressures they experience from parents, teachers, and peers.

C. Existing feelings of low self-esteem can make a student more vulnerable to bullying.

D. A number of studies has shown that all students have moments of self-doubt and insecurity, but some students may have a more difficult time managing those feelings.

Answer:

The best rebuttal to the counterclaim is:

D. A number of studies has shown that all students have moments of self-doubt and insecurity, but some students may have a more difficult time managing those feelings.

Explanation:

A counterclaim is an idea that opposes the claim of an essay or a speech, for example. In this case, the counterclaim is "Bullying is not that important because it does not affect me personally." <u>A rebuttal is an answer to a counterclaim, opposing it. In this instance, the best one is letter D. No one is absolutely immune to bullying and its effects. As studies show, everyone eventually feels insecure and, in some cases, such feeling is harder to manage. Therefore, bullying is important, since it has the power to affect everyone.</u>

I want an explanation (nothing - something - everything - something)
Scrat [10]

Indefinite pronouns are used to refer to nonspecific people, things or places. In this way, the speaker uses -body or -one to refer to people, and    -thing to indicate objects. As a general rule, these pronouns are consider to be in the singular form so the verb has to agree with it.  

It is important to highlight that “Nothing” is used in negative sentences (example: Nobody worked yesterday.)

"Something" is used for unknown or nonspecific object and it is appears in affirmative sentences.(Example: I saw something in the kitchen).

“Everything” is used to refer to a total amount of nonspecific objects and it appears in affirmative sentences.(Example: I bought everything yesterday).
