Question

Which statement reflects a counterargument

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is Delaying the start time for schools  would create difficulties.

Explanation:

The purpose of an argumentative text is to convince the reader that a thesis or proposition is true by providing reasons or evidence in favor of it; however, many times this is not enough to completely convince the audience. Since generally other people can reasonably adopt positions contrary to the one being defended, an attentive reader may have doubts about it if the arguments that can be presented against it are not discussed and answered.

Counter-argument is an argumentative strategy that consists of anticipating possible objections to the thesis being defended and answering them in order to strengthen the argumentation that is presented in a text.

In this case, it would be "Delaying the start time for schools  would create difficulties."
