Question

consider this claim:
people should read paper books rather than use e-readers.
now consider how someone might argue against this. which sentence presents a counterclaim to the above claim?
e-readers are a convenient way to carry multiple books at the same time.
reading using electronic devices can lead to increased eye strain.
studies have shown that people retain more information when they read a paper book.

Explanation:

A counterclaim opposes the original claim that people should choose paper books over e-readers, so it must highlight a benefit of e-readers or a drawback of paper books. The first option supports e-readers by noting their portability, which directly counters the original claim. The other two options support the original claim by pointing out a downside of e-readers or an advantage of paper books.

Answer:

E-readers are a convenient way to carry multiple books at the same time.
