Which quotation from "Heads Up, Humans" expresses a counterclaim to the author's argument?

Question

• They say that people who are displaced from jobs will find new and better occupations that will be created by the economic shift. (paragraph 5)
• Today, the new industries are unlikely to need many human bodies or minds because technology can do the work for less cost. (paragraph 7)
• There is no evidence that recent advances in technology have so far offered the majority of workers better pay or positions. (paragraph 9)
It's tempting to avoid thinking about it, especially because solutions aren't obvious. (paragraph 11)

Answer 1

The quotation that expresses a counterclaim to the author's argument is:

• They say that people who are displaced from jobs will find new and better occupations that will be created by the economic shift. (paragraph 5)

This statement presents a contrary viewpoint to the author's argument by suggesting that displaced workers will potentially benefit from new and better job opportunities, contrasting with the concerns raised about technological advancement leading to job loss and economic instability.
