Question

1. consider this claim:
2. the best place to have a birthday party is at a bowling alley.
3. now consider how someone might argue against this. which sentence presents a counterclaim to the above claim?
4. bad weather will not affect a birthday party at a bowling alley.

people who dont like to bowl may not have fun at a bowling alley.
bowling alleys have arcade games and other entertainment besides bowling.

Explanation:

A counterclaim should oppose the original claim ("the best place to have a birthday party is in a bowling alley"). The first option supports the bowling alley as a venue (bad weather not affecting it). The third option also supports it (additional entertainment). The second option ("People who don't like to bowl may not have fun at a bowling alley") argues that a bowling alley may not be the best for everyone, opposing the original claim.

Answer:

People who don't like to bowl may not have fun at a bowling alley.
