Question

what does it mean to
efute\ a counterargument?
a. to ignore the counterargument
b. to repeat the counterargument
c. to agree with the counterargument
d. to disprove the counterargument with evidence

how should you approach a counterargument that seems valid?
a. dismiss it without explanation
b. repeat your argument to draw attention away from the counterargument
c. explain why your argument is stronger
d. ignore it

Explanation:

For the first question, "refute" means to prove something wrong. Ignoring (a), repeating (b), or agreeing (c) don't fit. Disproving with evidence (d) does.
For the second question, dismissing (a) or ignoring (d) is bad. Repeating (b) avoids the issue. Explaining your argument's strength (c) addresses the valid counter - argument properly.

Answer:

First question: d. To disprove the counterargument with evidence
Second question: c. Explain why your argument is stronger
