This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find them online. They are the following:
A. The best way to prevent bullying is to keep students off of social media outside of school hours.
B. Schools should have a strong support system in place to help some students cope with the emotional pressures they experience from parents, teachers, and peers.
C. Existing feelings of low self-esteem can make a student more vulnerable to bullying.
D. A number of studies has shown that all students have moments of self-doubt and insecurity, but some students may have a more difficult time managing those feelings.
Answer:
The best rebuttal to the counterclaim is:
D. A number of studies has shown that all students have moments of self-doubt and insecurity, but some students may have a more difficult time managing those feelings.
Explanation:
A counterclaim is an idea that opposes the claim of an essay or a speech, for example. In this case, the counterclaim is "Bullying is not that important because it does not affect me personally." <u>A rebuttal is an answer to a counterclaim, opposing it. In this instance, the best one is letter D. No one is absolutely immune to bullying and its effects. As studies show, everyone eventually feels insecure and, in some cases, such feeling is harder to manage. Therefore, bullying is important, since it has the power to affect everyone.</u>
Where’s the question choice
Answer:
consequence
[ kon-si-kwens, -kwuhns ]SHOW IPA
See synonyms for: consequence / consequences on Thesaurus.com
noun
the effect, result, or outcome of something occurring earlier:
The accident was the consequence of reckless driving.
Ben ran a good race so he came in second place.
First person
It takes a bit of reading into the passage to see what point of view it is, because there is little indication in the first paragraph. The first indication that it is written in first person is the use of "us" at the end of that first paragraph. Then, in the subsequent paragraphs the reader sees that the author uses "I" several times, indicating first person perspective.
