Explanation:What is counterargument? Is a stamement or position that there are alternative or options positions. I. e option positions. E. g : if my argument is that rice is better food than beans because they are easily digestible but you argue that beans are better foods because they are good source of protein, the stand here is a counterargument to position.

To identify counterargument for the Jerrie is that she's has been a resident of the state for two years and nine which remains only three months to complete her three years stay to be eligible to run for city council. Therefore someone needs to respond to it by discussing the reasons the argument is incomplete, weak, unsound, or illogical.

Provide examples or evidence to show why the opposing argument is unsound, or provide explanations of how the opposing argument is incomplete or illogical.

Close by stating your own argument and why your argument is stronger than the identified counterargument. The fact that it remains only three only three month to complete the years should be given chance to be eligible even though three years is yet to be completed.
