Question

consider this claim: it is better to be too hot than too cold. now consider how someone might argue against this. which sentence presents the stronger and more reasonable counter - claim to the above claim? being too cold or hot is subjective: different people feel the same temperatures in different ways depending on their sizes, metabolisms, and other biological factors. being too cold is not bad, since its easy to adjust your temperature by adding layers of clothing or snuggling under a blanket; its harder to get comfortable when youre too hot.

Explanation:

The first counter - claim points out the subjectivity of temperature perception based on biological factors. The second counter - claim provides a practical reason about ease of adjusting temperature when cold versus when hot. The second one is stronger as it directly addresses the claim's comparison of 'better' by giving a practical advantage of being too cold over too hot.

Answer:

Being too cold is not bad, since it's easy to adjust your temperature by adding layers of clothing or snuggling under a blanket; it's harder to get comfortable when you're too hot.
