Question

read the claim. claim: the british tea set is the most historically significant object because it represents the breaking down of social barriers between the people of wealth and working classes of britain. which statement is the strongest counter - claim to the claim? tea houses and tea gardens were a greater factor in the breakdown of social barriers than the actual tea set itself. there were many things that led to people of wealths newfound mutual respect and admiration for the working classes of britain. people of wealth were happy; if people experiencing poverty could afford tea, then they could consume less alcohol. although tea became affordable enough for everyone, it did not mean that the people of wealth socialized more with the working ones.

Explanation:

La primera opción enfoca en que las casas de té y los jardines de té fueron más importantes que el juego de té en sí para derribar barreras sociales, lo cual es un contraargumento directo a la idea de que el juego de té británico es el objeto más históricamente significativo para derribar barreras sociales. Las otras opciones no se centran tan directamente en desafiar la importancia del juego de té en sí.

Answer:

Tea houses and tea gardens were a greater factor in the breakdown of social barriers than the actual tea - set itself.
