C. <em>To deeply explore the issue in order to pursue truth </em>This is the correct option.

To get close to the truth is the aim of an argumentative research essay. To argue means to show the different sides of a claim. If a counterclaim were not included, the final truth would be your claim and this would not allow any further argument. Therefore, research would be over. Your paper would be the final step in the chain of research and ,probably, your readers would not believe in you. Your readers would believe in a writer who shows a dialetical view, which means a view that has certainties and uncertantities. This is the path to the truth in research.

These options are not right:

A. To criticize a lack of evidence in your opponent's argument ( The aim of the counterclaim is to develop the argument in itself since research has this characteristic. The point is not to criticise the other researchers)

B. To appeal to the feelings and emotions of your readers ( An argumentative essay is constructed with logical evidence, not with emotions).

D. To show that you support your opponent's argument ( In fact, it is to show you are able to argue with other researchers. To argue means to find different ways to approach the same issue).

C To deeply explore the issue in order to pursue truth, this is because if you are going to make a proper argument you must acknowledge the other side of the argument, not support it, but acknowledge that it is there.

Which of the following lines contain alliteration?

Paladinen [302]

Because alliteration is when the same sound (not necessarily the same letter) occurs at the beginning of a word or words that closely follow each other in the same sentence or poem line, we can see that with a "W" sound, the second line contains alliteration with the words "wanders," "watches," and "with." And, the fourth line contains alliteration with the "M" sound with the words "muster" and "men."
