Question

There has been much debate in our community lately about the

starting time of schools. It is clear from the evidence presented that
the high school needs to have a later starting time. Records show that
70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end of
first period. Some residents believe that this is due to early morning
doctor appointments, but only eight percent of those students had
medical excuses. They are simply sleeping in. Additionally, parents of
younger children complain that they have to wait until 8:45 to see their
kids off to elementary school.
Which is an example of a counterclaim?
O A. High school needs to have a later starting time,
B. This is due to early morning doctor appointments,
O C. They have to wait until 8:45
O D. They are simply sleeping in

Answer 1

C.They have to wait until 8:45

Explanation:

This is a counterclaim because the first part of the paragraph is saying that high school specifically should start later but then the author claims that elementary schools should start sooner due to parents having to wait to see their kids off to elementary school. This is countering against the claim that schools should start later

Answer 2

B.this is due to early morning doctor appointments
