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

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.

AlexFokin [52]

Answer and Explanation:

They travel together because they are very close friends who have known each other for many years and Henry's father believes that it is a good idea for them to spend time together as a student and become more cultured, in addition to being distracted.

Victos' return was postponed because he had a very high fever, became very ill and had to recover to endure the trip back to Geneva. Vitor only returns when he is completely recovered, but he managed to spend a good time while he was away.
