# Brief Explanations:
A counterargument is an opposing view. The phrase "this amendment will not solve the problem of sex discrimination" presents a potential opposing view (that the amendment won't fix sex discrimination), and the next part of the text (not fully shown here but from the context of the speech) likely addresses this counterargument. The other options are either supporting the amendment or calling for action, not presenting a counterargument.
# Answer: "this amendment will not solve the problem of sex discrimination"
