A counterclaim is a method of proving important points within an argument. A counterclaim is a revised claim in a secondary draft of a larger argument.

Answer 1

It is D, since a counterclaim is the opposite of the claim to take all viewpoints into consideration.

Answer 2

The right answer is "A counterclaim is a statement of reasons someone might disagree with the claim."

Reconvention is an institute of procedural law, legal branch of Public Law, by which the defendant formulates a claim against the author of an action. In the common procedure, the defendant may, simultaneously with the challenge, formulate a claim against the plaintiff.

In other words, it is a statement of reasons that someone may disagree with the request.
