Question
You’ve identified some great books to recommend for Gift of Giving Week, but you want to add some series of books to your list of recommendations.
You reach out to a friend who’s a fan of mystery and thriller novels to find reviews of books for pre-teens. They help you locate a BookTok video about a series of thriller books written for pre-teens by an author who typically writes thrillers for adults. The online reviewer notes that some people don’t believe adult fiction writers can cross over into writing good books for young adults.
In one section of the video, the reviewer introduces a counterargument. With their counterargument, they concede that the book they’re reviewing has received good reviews from a few pre-teen vloggers who think the author did a great job writing a series for young adults. Your friend thinks this makes the video more believable.
How does a counterargument advance the author’s purpose of persuading the reader?
Question 6 options:
A counterargument shows there are two sides to the issue and, therefore, no way of knowing what to think.
A counterargument helps make an article or video longer and, therefore, more believable.
A counterargument shows the reader that the author has thought deeply about the issue, increasing the credibility of their argument.
A counterargument doesn't contribute to the author's purpose. It's simply intended to present an opposing viewpoint.
