Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Below is a section from a previous draft of Donovan's argumentative essay. What type of appeal is Donovan making in the underlined sentences? Georgia O'Keeffe became one of the most famous painters of all time by not doing what "the men" of her time expected of her. O'Keeffe had the courage to be creative in the face of constant criticism. If O'Keeffe sat down to take an IQ test today, she might very well draw her answers and end up with a poor score. But she would not care what the results of the test were! Answer choices for the above question A. This is an emotional appeal. B. This is repetition. C. This is an ethical appeal. D. This is a counter argument.

Answer:

D. This is a counter argument.

Explanation:

As we can see in the text shown above, the underlined phrase stands as an objection, a refutation to the argument previously said, which states that if O'Keeffe made a current IQ text, it would have a low score. This type of positioning is called a counter argument.

The counter-argument aims to counter a premise and not hinder its meaning. When the author of the text states that O'Keeffe would not do well in an IQ test, he opposes arguments showing that this would not tarnish the genius she possessed.
