Question

Read this claim and counterclaim.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Statistics showing that people tend to drive just five miles above the speed limit.

Explanation:

A counterclaim of an argument is when a claim is rebutted or countered. In other words, the rebuttal or the arguments presented against the original claim is known as the counterclaim.

In the given scenario, the claim is that the 55 miles per hour highway speed limit be reactivated. And the counterclaim for that is that this is useless because nobody really cares about the limit and drives however they want, whatever the limit may be.

Now, to counter that counterclaim, the best evidence will be to provide statistical data of people tending to drive just five miles above the permitted sped limit.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
