Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Claim: Our school should start a morning announcement student team. Counterclaim: Some people may argue that the team would need training so announcements stay brief and accurate.

Which rebuttal best responds to the counterclaim while keeping a respectful tone?

AThat concern is silly, and people should stop complaining.

BThe claim is true because I personally like the idea.

CThe school should ignore all counterclaims and move ahead immediately.

DThat concern is important, but the school could start with a small pilot plan and review results before expanding it.

Solution & Explanation:The strongest rebuttal acknowledges the concern and offers a reasonable way to address it. It avoids insults, personal opinion, and dismissing the counterclaim. This row’s supporting detail is "That concern is important, but the school could start with a small pilot plan...". Here, the explanation applies to the task "Which rebuttal best responds to the counterclaim while keeping a respectful tone?" and the answer detail "That concern is important, but the school could start with a small pilot plan and review results...".
