What are the characteristics of argumentative writing? Explain the characteristics of an effective claim. Explain the features of a valid counterclaim and an effective rebuttal?

Hey there!

Claims: Making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point. Claims are not just opinions. A claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge and your research.

Counterclaim: There are two sides to every argument. A counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. Counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. Not just, 'Because I said so.' When you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence.

Rebuttal: There are many features of an effective rebuttal. First, rebuttal states the opposing side’s position without any distortion. Secondly, the writers use quotations with accuracy and fidelity. Thirdly, this technique makes use of professional tone with rationality and courtesy, as it does not allow ridiculing to make points. Finally, rebuttal is often constructively critical, as readers bristle if they encounter extreme negativity.

HOPE THIS HELPS :)
