Explanation:

The original text has a punctuation and capitalization error. When introducing a new independent clause that defines the second term in a pair, we need a period and capital letter to separate the two distinct explanations. The phrase "refuting, conceding" is incorrect here; we need to end the first part with a period, capitalize the start of the second clause, and use "Conceding" to properly introduce the definition of that rhetorical strategy.

Answer:

refuting. Conceding
