how can cassie address junipers counterargument?

tell her that she should just carry her groceries in her hands.
say that plastic bags should be banned no matter what.

Explanation:

Juniper's counterargument points out that plastic bags are needed for specific uses like fresh produce. Cassie’s goal is to address this while maintaining environmental focus. Suggesting paper or biodegradable bags as alternatives directly solves the practical need Juniper mentions without relying on plastic, making it a constructive response. The other options are either impractical (carrying groceries in hands) or dismissive (banning plastic regardless of need).

Answer:

Suggest that stores offer paper or biodegradable bags as an alternative.
