Question

which of the following should not be included in a counterclaim paragraph?
evidence from the opposing side

a hook to introduce the writer’s argument

Explanation:

A counter - claim paragraph addresses the opposing view. It includes evidence from the opposing side, acknowledges the opposing side, and presents an argument against it. A hook is used in an introduction to grab the reader's attention and introduce the overall argument, not specifically in a counter - claim paragraph.

Answer:

A hook to introduce the writer’s argument
