Which sentence best describes the relationship between a counterclaim and a rebuttal? a counterclaim states both a reason and evidence to support a claim, which a rebuttal rejects to show a second opinion about the claim. a counterclaim states the limitations of the central claim, which a rebuttal acknowledges and clarifies using evidence to support the claim. a counterclaim states another version of the central claim, which a rebuttal compares to the original claim. a counterclaim states an opposing viewpoint to the claim, which a rebuttal fairly and logically addresses.

The right answer is A counterclaim states an opposing viewpoint to the claim, which a rebuttal fairly and logically addresses.

A claim states an arguable statement that can be argued one way or another. The counterclaim goes in the opposite direction of the claim. The counterclaim can analyze differently or choose distinctive arguments to conclude its opposite inclination. While the rebuttal is the opportunity for the claimer to refute, to disprove the counterclaim using logical arguments. Both counterclaim and rebuttal are important because they demonstrate that you have analyzed carefully your argument and you are ready to provide an answer for conflicting arguments.

D. A counterclaim states an opposing viewpoint to the claim, which a rebuttal fairly and logically addresses.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
