Question

a counter - argument is: b. when you address an opposing point of view and attempt to prove it wrong or weak. c. a thesis statement explaining reasons. d. evidence used to back up a claim. a. when someone agrees with your argument.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A counter - argument is not about someone agreeing with your argument. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: A counter - argument involves addressing an opposing point of view and trying to show it is wrong or weak. This matches the definition of a counter - argument.
• Option C: A thesis statement is a claim or main idea of an essay, not a counter - argument. So C is incorrect.
• Option D: Evidence used to back up a claim is support for an argument, not a counter - argument. So D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. When you address an opposing point of view and attempt to prove it wrong or weak.
