“It is time we act to assure full equality of opportunity”
D
“this amendment will not solve the problem of sex discrimination”

A counterargument acknowledges an opposing point and responds to it. “That is no reason to allow prejudice to continue” pushes back against a reason someone might give for leaving prejudice unchallenged. The other phrases mainly state a goal, explain the amendment’s need, or concede a limitation.
