Hmm, a strong argument typically includes a statement of one's own opinion, then your opponent's counterclaim, and reasons why the counterclaim is inaccurate or invalid. For instance, Tammy could have started off with a statement about how animal safety benefits the animals, and then address the counterclaim about it being expensive by stating it doesn't just help the animals, but the people as well. I think the answer here is false because Tammy's speech didn't include an argument about how expensive animal safety is. So false. I hope this helps, sorry it's so long.
