In the process of argumentative writing, or any research, a very important step, aside from creating a claim and collecting the data to support this claim, is the creation of the counterclaim. A counterclaim is literally the way in which a writer contemplates that his argument, or claim, may be wrong, or partially wrong, and this adds veritability and trustworthiness to a research process because it shows that the writer did not just use his/her point of view and research to lay a claim, but considered other options as well and considered the fact that his/her statement may be untrue. What is important to consider, when building a counterclaim, however, it is important to consider all the points established by other writers, researchers or people in general. The correct answer would be C, because when doing research, a writer must consider all the facts, both that support and detract, from the claim in order to make his/her text balanced and not biased.
Answer:
yes it is indeed the letter a
A. written a clear and specific thesis statement.
A thesis statement should include the topic of your essay as well as a preview of the major supporting ideas. The supporting ideas are the topics of each of your body paragraphs. You would write a draft of your thesis statement at the beginning of your outline, so it would be easier to complete an outline of your ideas. A clear thesis statement about cell phones in school might be: Cell phones should be allowed in the classroom because they can be a useful tool for education, a necessary way of contacting someone in an emergency, and an importance practice in ignoring distractions. This statement gives the author's position on the topic of cell phones in school and then lists the supporting reasons in the order they should appear in the body paragraphs.
Your answer is going to be D! The reason that C is not right, is because after 'he added' there should be a comma, to pause before speaking the dialogue.
