A student need to concentrate on denotative rather than connotative word choices on letter A: Scientific analysis.  

They could be literal meanings which are meanings explicitly given to the readers or the person being told to. In this type of meaning, the person doesn’t need to think the words too much or ponder on the meaning because they could easily understand what the other person or the author implies. Meanwhile connotative meanings are meanings using different figures of speech or symbolism that the person still needs to think it over before knowing the actual meaning of the word, sentence or story.

Sentence 6:  Some people believe that the government does not have the right to force people to be safe, and that these laws are unfair.

The counterargument in an essay is the argument that a person would make against the essay's overall claim. In this essay, the author is arguing for consistent seat belt laws across all states for both drivers and passengers. The author wants the government to get involved because seat belts save lives. The counterargument contradicts the author in that it argues that the government should not be the one deciding whether or not a person should be wearing a seat belt. Laws for seat belts are unfair as they infringe upon a person's rights.
