Answer:

The answer to the statement: A strong counterclaim may, would be: A: Make arguments that are easy to refute.

Explanation:

The reason comes from learning what the purpose of a counterclaim is in a research paper or essay. In essence, academic writing, especially argumentative essays, have the purpose of stating a claim, and defending that claim, through verifiable data, and well-formed arguments. However, if an essay only shows the claim, and the arguments in its favor, without showing that there may be information that may disprove the main claim, the essay would not be considered objective, and lose its validity. To prevent this from happening, writers include the counterclaim, or counterclaims, that show the reader that there is an alternative option to the main claim. But, these counterclaims, while showing alternate arguments, need to be easily refutable, otherwise they would completely invalidate the main thesis. This is why the answer is A. A writer needs to include counterarguments, but these must be easily refuted with the data. These arguments also show that the writer has done the proper research on the subject and thus his essay can be taken seriously.

<span>A. Make arguments that are easy to refute 

It's important to understand the opposite side to your argument, but your counterclaim should be easily refuted by the rest of your argument, typically within the same paragraph. This shows that you've done your research on both sides, but still your side is much more strongly supported.</span>

Which descriptive details from the text best help the reader visualize the specific early Victorian tea set that is the central
iogann1982 [59]
I believe you are referring to this text: 

<span>In the eighteenth century Josiah Wedgwood had made some of the most expensive stoneware ceramics – in jasper and basalt – in Britain, but this tea set shows that by the 1840s, when Wedgwood produced it, the company was aiming at a much wider market. This is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware of a sort that many quite modest British households were then able to afford. But the owners of this particular set must have had serious social aspirations, because all three pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver.

From the text, the descriptive detail that best aids the reader to visualize the central topic which is a specific early Victorian tea set is "</span><span>some of the most expensive stoneware</span>".

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Edgar Allan Poe created the poem "The Bells" to describe them using stylistic devices. Look down below for the answer as this is a space for short answers.

Explanation:

Three different elements show how Edgar Allan Poe used figurative language to develop his poem "The Bells". First of all, "The Bells" is a poem that describes the sound of different types of bells, as much as the general idea allowed him to think about all types of bells and represent them in the poem. Second, once he has thought and analyzed the different characteristic sounds of each type he makes comparisons, similes, and imagery are the most used elements in the poem. Third, after trying to identify them, he describes them in what is his best "shot" to be understood by the reader. Then, he repeats different elements, scenes, and objects to compare them and differentiate one type from the other. One major factor here is that he uses his knowledge and learning to transmit his idea. That might not be perfect but is complete, because he described them so hard by comparing them to common objects that the reader can understand his point of view easily.
