In paragraph 4 the author comments about the Mao Tek 2G as “the least expensive” and he says “it’s performance was rated as average...” Does the phrase “the least expensive” have a positive or negative connotation? Why?

the correct option is c) “logical reasons.”

writers should explain their position by writing logical reasons. in order to build effective arguments, clear evidence and logical ideas should be used to support the writers’ position.

counterclaims are used when the writers do not agree with a claim proposed by another author.

fair rebuttals are used by writers when a counterclaim to their position is being presented.
