Writing an Argumentative Essay about an Ethical Issue — Quiz

Question 21 • British Literature and Composition

In an argumentative essay, where should the writer present the counterclaim?

Answer
A
after the supporting evidence for a reason
B
immediately following the initial claim
C
as part of the introduction to the claim
D
as part of the conclusion of the argument

Explanation

A counterclaim presents an opposing view after the writer has explained and supported a reason for the main claim. This lets readers understand the writer’s argument before considering the opposing position. So the best choice is “after the supporting evidence for a reason.”
