Question

Which of these statements is the best counterclaim to the above claim? That is, which statement gives a specific reason why this is not the best car model available? That model is too expensive for me. That model received poor safety ratings. That model does not come in many colors.

Answer 1

The answer on Edgen is B "That model received poor safety ratings."

Answer 2

Correct answer:

That model received poor safety ratings.

In order to decide if it is a counterclaim or we should not analyze the other possible claims. "That model is too expensive for me", remembering that the initial statement was "This is the best car model available" we can say that it is not a solid argument to contradict this statement, the same happens if we analyze "That model does not come in many colors"

On the other hand the statement "That model received poor safety ratings" we can say that it is a point against to say that it is the best car available.
