Question

Hey! Can someone help me with this? Thanks!!

Consider this claim:

Headphones should be manufactured so that music volumes must remain at a safe level to protect listeners' hearing. Use the 5-step process to write a counterclaim.

- Complete the following sentence: The claim states that …
- Cross out "The claim states that." What remains is your clearly stated position.
- Complete the following sentence: Some may disagree because …
- Cross out "Some may disagree because." What remains is your purpose for writing.
- Combine these two thoughts; this is your claim and your counterclaim.

Answer 1

1- THE CLAIM STATES THAT people should be able to use headphones and listen to music at a safe sound level.
2- SOME MAY DISAGREE BECAUSE different ages and states of health can listen to different sound levels of music.

COUNTERCLAIM-
People should be able to use headphones and listen to music at a safe sound but the sound level depends on the persons age or state of health.

Answer 2

Headphones should be constructed so that when you play music the volume has to stay at a safe level meaning you can't control it so people don't blow their ear drums. Some people may like their music loud and others not so much so it wouldn't be fair if they couldn't control how high or low it goes.
