Explanation:

• Overloading support wastes effort and does not address reader skepticism of an unpopular view.
• Distracting readers undermines credibility and is an unethical rhetorical tactic.
• A personal story is anecdotal evidence, which is weak for disproving opposing viewpoints.
• Acknowledging and addressing counter-claims early demonstrates credibility, shows you understand opposing perspectives, and allows you to refute them directly, which is the strongest way to build support for an unpopular viewpoint.

Answer:

Acknowledge and address counter-claims (opposing viewpoints) early in your essay.
