Can anyone give me an example of a counterargument (a rebuttal paragraph would really help!)?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: A counterargument is an argument for the side you are apposing.
For example, you're writing an essay in favor of Hillary Clinton, Your counterargument would be something like, "Some might say that Trump's health care plan is better than Hillary's." And then you debunk that argument.

Which of the following lines is an example of onomatopoeia?a. dreamless, uninvaded sleep
b. the sound of steel on stones
c. thump, thump, thump
d. a sad, raggy tune

Answers

The correct answer is C. Thump, thump, thump

Explanation:

In writing, an onomatopoeia refers to a word that imitates or represents sound, including sounds from animals such as the onomatopoeia "meow" that represents the sound made by a cat or sounds from objects such as "bang" that can represent the sound of an explosion, this is commonly used in certain types of texts such as comic books that use onomatopoeia to emphasize the sound or effect of certain actions. Additionally to this, as language onomatopoeias are not universal despite they represent universal sounds, because of this one sound can be represented in different ways according to the language. Considering this, the line that is an example of onomatopoeia is "Thump, thump, thump" because these are words are being used to represent or imitate the sound of a blow or a rhythmic sound, which is exactly the purpose of onomatopoeias.
c. thump, thump, thump Onomatopoeia are words that imitate sounds. Examples: bang, clang, tweet, growl

Read the sentence.Physics teacher
a. a. Michelson measured the speed of light in 1878.
Which word or phrase is the complete predicate?
A) the speed of light
B) physics teacher
a. a. Michelson
C) measured the speed of light in 1878
D) in 1878

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is letter C) measured the speed of light in 1878.

Explanation:

A predicate consists of a verb or a verb phrase that offers information about a subject. In other words, a predicate is everything in a structure (verb, objects, complements) that is not the subject. The subject is what the sentence is about, its topic. In the sentence "Michelson measured the speed of light in 1878," Michelson is the subject, the person this sentence is about. The rest of the sentence is the complete predicate:

measured - verb

the speed of light - object

in 1878 - adverbial phrase of time
C is the correct answer, because a 'predicate' is a verb with everything that accompanies it, such as objects, adverbial modifiers, etc. And A, B, or D don't even have a verb in them.

Read this excerpt from Thomas Paine's famous essay "The Crisis Number One":I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent. Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.

Which sentence best describes Paine's claim in the excerpt?

God would not take sides between the British and the American colonists.
It was necessary to save Americans because God did not support military destruction.
It was necessary for America to fight the British to defend their religious values.
God would defend the American colonists' fight because their cause was upright.

Damon and PythiasDamon and Pythias had been the best of friends since childhood. Each trusted the other like a brother, and each knew in his heart there was nothing he would not do for his friend. Eventually the time came for them to prove the depth of their devotion. It happened in this way.Dionysius, the ruler of Syracuse, grew annoyed when he heard about the kind of speeches Pythias was giving. The young scholar was telling the public that no man should have unlimited power over another and that absolute tyrants were unjust kings. In a fit of rage, Dionysius summoned Pythias and his friend.“Who do you think you are, spreading unrest among the people?” he demanded.“I spread only the truth,” Pythias answered. “There can be nothing wrong with that.”“And does your truth hold that kings have too much power and that their laws are not good for their subjects?”“If a king has seized power without permission of the people, then that is what I say.”“This kind of talk is treason,” Dionysius shouted. “You are conspiring to overthrow me. Retract what you’ve said, or face the consequences.”“I will retract nothing,” Pythias answered.“Then you will die. Do you have any last requests?”“Yes. Let me go home just long enough to say goodbye to my wife and children and to put my household in order.”“I see you not only think I’m unjust, you think I’m stupid as well,” Dionysius laughed scornfully. “If I let you leave Syracuse, I have no doubt I will never see you again.”“I will give you a pledge,” Pythias said.“He will keep his word,” Damon replied. “I have no doubt of that.”“What kind of pledge could you possibly give to make me think you will ever return?” Dionysius demanded.At that instant Damon, who had stood quietly beside his friend, stepped forward.“I will be his pledge,” he said. “Keep me here in Syracuse, as your prisoner until Pythias returns. Our frienship is well known to you. You can be sure Pythias will return so long as you hold me.”Dionysius studied the two friends silently. “Very well,” he said at last. “But if you are willing to take the plce of your friend, you must be willing to accept his sentence if he breaks his promise. If Pythias does not return to Syracuse, you will die in his place.”Pythias was allowed to go free for a time, and Damon was thrown into prison. After several days, when Pythias failed to reappear, Dionysius’s curiosity got the better of him, and he went to the prison to see if Damon was yet sorry he had made such a bargain.“Your time is almost up,” the ruler of Syracuse sneered. “It will be useless to beg for mercy. You were a fool to rely on your friend’s promise. Did you really think he would sacrifice his life for you or anyone else?“He has merely been delayed,” Damon answered steadily. “The winds have kept him from sailing, or perhaps he has met with some accident on the road. But if it is humanly possible, he will be here on time. I am as confident of his virtue as I am of my own existence.”Dionysius was startled at the prisoner’s confidence. “We shall soon see,” he said and left Damon in his cell.The fatal day arrived. Damon was brought from prison and led before the executioner. Dionysius greeted him with a smug smile.“It seems your friend has not turned up,” he laughed. “What do you think of him now?”“He is my friend,” Damon answered. “I trust him.”Even as he spoke, the doors flew open, and Pythias staggered into the room. He was pale and bruised and half speechless from exhaustion. He rushed to the arms of his friend.“You are safe, praise the gods,” he gasped. “It seemed as though the fates were conspiring against us. My ship was wrecked in a storm, and then bandits attacked me on the road. But I refused to give up hope, and at last I’ve made it back in time. I am ready to receive my sentence of death.”Dionysius heard his words with astonishment. His eyes and his heart were opened. It was impossible for him to resist the power of such constancy.“The sentence is revoked,” he declared. “I never believed that such faith and loyalty could exist in friendship. You have shown me how wrong I was, and it is only right that you be rewarded with your freedom. But I ask that in return you do me one great service.”“What service do you mean?” the friends asked.“Teach me how to be part of so worthy a friendship.”The first paragraph of this story mostly provides the reader with __________. a. the crisis or turning point in the storyb. the specific obstacles the characters will facec. complications that contribute to the rising actiond. information to establish characters and background
