cigars lead to more fun and adventures.
drinking wine makes you look sophisticated.
all prescriptions are safe because they are medicines.
alcoholics can die of liver cancer.
smoking tobacco can lead to wrinkles and yellowing of skin.
using prescriptions improperly can be dangerous.
chewing tobacco can lead to mouth cancer.

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to find the counter - argument (or the statement that refutes the left - hand side statement) for each row:

Row 1:

• Left statement: Many famous athletes enjoy chewing tobacco.
• We need a statement that shows the negative aspect of chewing tobacco. The statement "Chewing tobacco can lead to mouth cancer" is a counter - argument as it highlights the health risk of chewing tobacco, which goes against the idea of promoting chewing tobacco just because athletes do it.

Row 2:

• Left statement: Cigars lead to more fun and adventures.
• A counter - argument should show the negative effect of smoking (including cigars). The statement "Smoking tobacco can lead to wrinkles and yellowing of skin" is a counter - argument as it shows a negative consequence of smoking, contradicting the positive image of cigars presented in the left statement.

Row 3:

• Left statement: Drinking wine makes you look sophisticated.
• We need a statement that shows the negative aspect of alcohol consumption. The statement "Alcoholics can die of liver cancer" is a counter - argument as it shows a severe health risk associated with excessive alcohol (which can start with drinking wine) and goes against the idea of promoting wine for a "sophisticated" image.

Row 4:

• Left statement: All prescriptions are safe because they are medicines.
• A counter - argument should show that prescriptions can be dangerous. The statement "Using prescriptions improperly can be dangerous" is a counter - argument as it shows that prescriptions are not always safe, contradicting the claim that all prescriptions are safe.

So the matching is as follows:

Left Statement	Counter - Argument
Cigars lead to more fun and adventures.	Smoking tobacco can lead to wrinkles and yellowing of skin.
Drinking wine makes you look sophisticated.	Alcoholics can die of liver cancer.
All prescriptions are safe because they are medicines.	Using prescriptions improperly can be dangerous.
