Which of these would provide the strongest counterclaim?
a. there are more than 30 states that require children to wear bicycle
helmets.
b. parents can hardly be held responsible for the way their children
behave when they're not around.
c. parents should also be charged with endangerment if they allow
their child to become dangerously overweight.
d. studies have shown that safe riding practices are actually more
effective in preventing injury than bicycle helmets.

I say answer D. Its more reasonable when you look at it tbh.

Counterclaim=a claim made to rebut a previous claim.

For one, even though there's no original text in this question, we can assume that it's not B. because parents are usually always responsible.

C. We can assume that the question has nothing to do with, this answer.

Which would leave only D, the most reasonable answer.

Riding his bicycle to go look for Asher, Jonas thinks to himself that he has not been taking the pills for four weeks, and he feels guilty about the returning Stirrings. He also knows, however, that he cannot return to living without feelings.

The Giver tells him that sometimes his pain makes him want to apply for a release, but he is not allowed to do it until Jonas is trained. Upon Jonas's pleading, The Giver relents and tells him the story about the failed Receiver.

hope this helps

have a good day :)
