The opposition position is the one that defends the statement that is contrary to the main claim of a debate. In this case, the main claim states that cell-phone use while driving should be banned in all states. The opposition claim, therefore, is the one that states that cell-phone use should <em>not</em> be banned in all states. On the other hand, the affirmative position is the one that supports the claim.
Trace and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is sound and the evidence is relevant and sufficient to support the claims.
