Where should the writer include a counterclaim in an argumentative essay?

as part of the evidence for the claim

immediately following the initial claim

after the supporting evidence for the claim

as part of the conclusion for the argument

C). After the supporting evidence for the claim.

Explanation:

Counterclaims are illustrated as the claims or arguments that primarily intends to offset or refute the original/previous idea, claim, or argument of the essay or paper. In an argumentative essay (that involves both sides of the argument), the counterclaims are involved to establish the credibility and validity of the author's central claim.

As per the question, a writer needs to include the counterclaims right after the evidences that are proposed to substantiate the original/actual claim of the author. These claims serve to deny or neglect the author's previous claim and inform the readers about the contradictory or opposing view and develop a productive argument that reflects the author's objectivity and impartiality. These counterclaims are however neglected by the author by incorporating relevant evidence to reflect the disagreement with the counterclaim and establish the validity of the original claim followed by the conclusion. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

C
