D. <em>uncharitable</em>.

The suffix <em>-able</em>, borrowed from Old French and originally from the Latin <em>-ābilis</em> (meaning "worthy of being acted upon"), can have different meanings.

The most common one is "fit/liable to be (done)," as in:

  • <em>likeable</em> - fit to be liked
  • <em>washable</em> - fit to be washed
  • <em>degradable</em> - liable to be degraded.

This, however, does not apply to <em>comfortable</em>. Another meaning of <em>-able</em>, however, is "giving, or inclined to," as in:

  • <em>comfortable</em> - giving comfort
  • <em>(un)charitable</em> - (not) inclined to charity.

Which statement best describes a counterclaim? A counterclaim is a document or reference that provides information.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

"A counterclaim is an opposing idea or opinion."

Explanation:

The first two such as "A counterclaim is a document or reference that provides information." and "A counterclaim is an opinion or stated idea that not everyone believes." are incorrect and wrong and do not best describe a counterclaim because one is not even what it is and the second is not a counterclaim nor an opinion it is a claim. Therefore 1. and 3. are no gos. The last one is wrong too because its not an argument against an idea its a claim/opinion. Therefore your answer is 2.

Hopefully this helps.
