Read the paragraph. (1) Playing a team sport such as soccer or lacrosse can help a child learn important life skills, such as sportsmanship, loyalty, and discipline. (2) Sports also give children a chance to have fun with their friends. (3) However, being on a team can also put undue pressure on a child, canceling out the positive effects. (4) Generally though, the majority of children who play team sports have a positive experience, perform better in school, and develop strong relationships with others. Which sentence contains a rebuttal?
A rebuttal acknowledges an opposing point and responds to it. Sentence 3 presents the concern that team sports can put undue pressure on a child. Sentence 4 counters that concern by saying that, generally, most children have a positive experience and benefit from playing team sports, so the rebuttal is sentence 4.
