How can evidence be used when addressing counterclaims? it should only appeal to pathos. it can refute the counterclaim with facts. it can appeal to a reader’s emotions. it can restate the claim.

The correct answer is: It can refute the counterclaim with facts.

The purpose of evidence is to prove or disprove the veracity of something and, therefore, appealing to the reader's emotions (pathos), as the first and third options state, is unnecessary. Counterclaims are used to refute the claim, so evidence is used to contrarest the counterclaim.
