Question

Which best describes the counterargument of an essay?

when the writer addresses an opposing claim
O when the writer supports the thesis using statistics

Answer 1

when the writer addresses an opposing claim

Step-by-step explanation:

An argumentative essay always contains a counterargument. That's the part where you introduce and acknowledge the other person's point of view. You then promptly refute it (shoot it down), however, because your opinion is that your view is the correct one.

Answer 2

when the writer addresses an opposing claim
