Counterarguments are the possible ways in which an author's arguments will be defied, that is, the possible reasons people might give to try and refute the claim made by the author. By anticipating or predicting such counterarguments, the author is able to see the weaknesses of his own claim and arguments and work to improve them. As a matter of fact, in essay writing, it is good to mention the counterarguments and address them in the essay by showing how or why they are not an obstacle to your claim or, at least, that there are solutions for them. That way, you show readers you have already considered those possibilities and found reasons to stick to your claim.

Gregor is now a bug --> his family is disgusted and not sure if they should accept him --> Gregor dies, and his family is now relieved of the burden
D. It makes april seem to the speaker like a mindless person to emphasize the contradictions of the month
