question 13 of 20
which statement includes a rebuttal?

a. instead of building a monument to the pioneers, we should spend
the time and money helping to heal those people the pioneers
displaced.

b. dixon fails to support his argument about the monument to the
pioneers.

c. dixons evidence is thin, making his claim weak and his argument
pointless.

d. while i can see dixons point, its clear that he hasnt considered
how the monument will affect american indians.

Explanation:

A rebuttal acknowledges an opposing view and then challenges it. Option D starts by acknowledging Dixon's point ("While I can see Dixon's point") and then rebuts by pointing out what he hasn't considered (the effect on American Indians). Option A is a proposal, not a rebuttal of an existing argument. Option B critiques the support of an argument, not a rebuttal. Option C critiques the evidence and argument, not a rebuttal of a view.

Answer:

D. While I can see Dixon's point, it's clear that he hasn't considered how the monument will affect American Indians.
