Answer:
The counterclaim given is as follows: Albel Bob Dylan's lyrics are just as effective without musical accompaniment.
The best repudiation for the counterclaim is A) which states that it is impossible to separate song lyrics from the music that accompanies them.
Explanation:
The counterclaim tries to throw weight behind the lyrics to Dylan's songs. There is no problem with this as his songs are incomplete without the lyrics.
However, to say they (the lyrics that is,) are just as effective without musical accompaniment is to assert that anybody can pick up those lyrics and express how they want (like a poem for instance) and still achieve the same effects they had with the musical accompaniment. This, of course, is impracticable as it in a way diminishes the musical aspect of Dylan's work.
Some of the awards that Albel Bob Dylan has received include the Presidential Medal of Freedom, ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award. As far as history has it, no award has been given to him for the best poem or work of literature.
Awards are recognition of one's efforts. It's away of saying one's efforts meets a certain degree of perfection/standard. The more recognised an award is globally, the more authoritative it is considered to be.
Therefore, to agree with the statement from the counterclaim is to invariably assert that the bodies responsible for recognising superior musical prowess globally (such as the Grammy, Golden Globe and the Academy awards) might have issued the awards to him in error. Even if one of the bodies did issue him an award in error, it is impossible on, on the balance of probabilities, for same error to be repeated across various organisations several times, over the same constant - Bob Dylan's music.
Cheers!
