Question

consider this claim: living in a treehouse would be the best way to live outdoors. now consider how someone might argue against this. which sentence presents a counterclaim to the above claim? living in a treehouse would provide protection while keeping you close to nature. an indonesian tribe called the korowai lives primarily in treehouses. trees can be struck by lightning, making a treehouse a dangerous place to live.

Explanation:

A counterclaim opposes the original claim. The original claim says living in a treehouse is the best way to live outdoors. The first option supports the claim by highlighting benefits. The second is a factual statement about a tribe, not a counterclaim. The third option points out a danger (lightning - struck trees making treehouses dangerous), which argues against the claim that treehouses are the best outdoor living option.

Answer:

Trees can be struck by lightning, making a treehouse a dangerous place to live.
