A writer should include counterclaims in the body of the essay and refute them point by point when the counterclaims are well accepted by the reader. This approach acknowledges the audience's perspective and demonstrates the writer's understanding of the issue, while also strengthening their argument by addressing and countering opposing viewpoints.
