which reason would best refute the counterclaim?
only die-hard fans and the uninformed would argue that bob dylans lyrics are literature.
it is impossible to separate song lyrics from the music that accompanies them.
song lyrics are no better than childish nonsense without the music that accompanies them.
dylan has written many enduring songs and received many awards for his musical achievements.

Explanation:

To refute the counterclaim that Bob Dylan's lyrics are equally effective without music, we need a statement that directly challenges the idea of separating lyrics from their musical accompaniment. The correct option argues that the two cannot be separated, undermining the core of the counterclaim. Other options either attack the claim's supporters, make an overly extreme judgment, or focus on unrelated career achievements rather than the link between lyrics and music.

Answer:

It is impossible to separate song lyrics from the music that accompanies them.
