Question

A counterclaim acknowledges the opposing viewpoint to the main claim of an argument.

A) True


B) False

Answer 1

True. The definition of counter is to oppose. A counterclaim is a claim which tries to attack the oppositions argument.

Answer 2

A counterclaim is when someone makes a statement or claim against another person who has already made one against the other person. This term is usually used in court or in a legal case. So, the correct answer is A) TRUE.

A counterclaim is made to prove false an accusation made against someone. As said before, this can occur in a legal case when an organization or a person starts legal action against someone who has already started one against them.
