The Greeks couldn’t resist adding their own original “explanations” to the definitions. For example, a Greek writer named Horapo

llo said correctly that the picture of a goose stood for the word “son.” But then he explained that this was because geese took spe­cial care of their young, which was completely inaccurate. He wrote that the image of a rabbit meant “open” because a rabbit's eyes never close – an equally false statement.

James Cross Giblin

the description of how geese take care of their young
the description of how rabbits eyes never close
the description of how Horapollo explained hieroglyphs

Answer:

The final sentence of the excerpt is a part of a strong argument that is referred to as a counterclaim.

Explanation:

A counterclaim simply means an opposing argument. A counterclaim is used by an individual to reject something that was said earlier.

A counterclaim is used when one doesn't support a particular thing and then says something that is different.

In this case, the Greek writer named Horapollo said that the picture of a goose stood for the word son but then explained that it was because geese took special care of their young, and this was inaccurate.

In conclusion, the above analysis illustrates a counterclaim.
