I believe the correct answer is - A counterclaim is an opposing idea or opinion.
In an argument, or a debate, the first speaker is going to say what he or she thinks, and then you can present your own rebuttal. This rebuttal is formally known as a counterclaim - if you don't agree with the first speaker's ideas, you can present your own, which are usually opposing.
Examples are the
following:
<span>1. </span>Tessie
is upset (line 243) and repeats that the drawing isn’t fair (lines 259-260).
<span>2. </span>The Hutchins’s
household’s papers are collected and put back into the box (lines 261-262)
<span>3. </span>Each
member of the household draws another slip (lines 271-287).
