Explanation:
A rebuttal is an argument used to rebut or prove as invalid a counterclaim, in this case the rebuttal is "While it is true that changing class times poses logistical problems, the fact remains: students at our high school are not getting enough sleep, and this is affecting their ability to learn", which is probably an argument that answers a counterclaim based on the logistical problems of changing class times. Similarly to the main claim and any other type of argument a counterclaim needs to be explained and supported using credible evidence which can include statistics, facts, expert words among others and should explain the main points that are part of an argument.
In this case, the argument focuses on showing the way students of high school are not sleeping enough and negative effects, this has, because of this, the author of this argument could use "A. Statistics about how many hours teenagers need to sleep" to show to the audience it is true teenagers do not sleep enough; "C. Statistics about the sleeping habits of high school students" to explain the way students sleeping habits in the school compare to others and strengthen the argument that students are not sleeping enough and "D.information about the effects of sleep deprivation on teenagers" to connect the previous information to the negative effects sleep deprivation causes and ratify to the audience the importance of changing class times.

<u>Compare and contrast W. H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" and William Carlos Williams's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus." </u>
<u>What similarities and differences do you see in the way the poets present ideas to the reader?</u>
The most important similarity between W.H. Auden and William Carlos Williams' poems is that both describe Pieter Brueghel's painting <em>Landscape With The Fall of Icarus</em>. Both poets illustrate the scene and all its surroundings with detail. Both poets exemplify with imagery the painting's scene and what it depicts.
<u>Nevertheless, the poets do differ in other elements:</u>
- Auden presents his poem using free verse and divides it into two long stanzas without any rhyme. Although William Carlos Williams doesn't use rhyme either, he keeps a more traditional construction by dividing the poem into six stanzas with three lines in each.
- Auden reflects on suffering and the burden of routine depicted in the painting with more delicate and meditative observations. He mentions Icarus in the second stanza and contemplates his psyche in a deeper way. Williams, on the other hand, presents his ideas in a concise manner. He states the reader the facts and describes the painting with concrete examples. He mentions Icarus since the first stanza but doesn't concentrate on what he might have felt or what others might be feeling in that precise moment.
- Auden sensed the painting and tells the reader his experience when he saw it. Williams is an observer. He tells the reader a descriptive summary of what he saw without delving into his inner experience and thoughts.
