question 1 of 5
what is one way in which black argues against the majority opinion?
a. he argues that school is not a platform for free speech.
b. he argues that the students who protested were peaceful.
c. he argues that the school suspended these students before without complaint.
d. he argues that the protests were meant to evoke fear.

Explanation:

If Black is arguing against a majority opinion regarding student protests in school, arguing that the students who protested were peaceful can be a counter - argument. Option A goes against the idea of free speech rights which may not be a common counter - argument against a majority view on student protests. Option C doesn't seem to be a strong counter - argument as it doesn't directly oppose the majority view. Option D would support a negative view of the protests rather than oppose a majority opinion.

Answer:

B. He argues that the students who protested were peaceful.
