d) It makes the argument balanced and can show why the original claim is stronger.

The counterclaim is used to address any big opposing arguments the audience could make against the claim. This allows the speaker to invalidate any counterclaims. By doing this, the original claim is stronger because the opposition is squashed. It also makes the speaker more reliable and the argument more balanced because it shows that the speaker is aware of other opinions and not ignorant to other thoughts and ideas. It makes the speaker's position more valid and seemingly well considered.

Answer:

Hurston's purpose in writing "How it Feels to be Colored like Me" is to assert her pride in being black. She pushes back against the idea, articulated by many of her black friends during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, that segregation and racial discrimination harmed the black soul and needed to be addressed.

1. Read the sentence. Carol is dedicated to the study of marine life. Which supporting details is least supportive of the main i

Nutka1998 [239]

The correct answer is Carol has a cottage near the shore.
This supporting detail has nothing to do with her study of marine life. She could have this cottage because she inherited it, or she just likes the place - it doesn't really contribute to her love or study of marine life. The other options clearly support why she is studying marine life, whereas the one with the cottage does not.
