Claim: schools should decrease class size by hiring more teachers. which statement is an example of a common sense counterclaim above ? a. research has shown that smaller classes don’t necessarily equal better instruction. b. currently 60 percent of all classes have no more than 30 students each. c. students say they enjoy larger classes more than smaller classes. d. a decrease in size would require more teachers, which be too expensive.

D would be the best fit counter claim because it is stating that it could help but it is more cost efficient to not hire more teachers.

The statement that is an example of a common sense counterclaim is D. a decrease in size would require more teachers, which be too expensive.

Explanation: A common sense counterclaim is a claim based on sound judgement that aims at rebutting a claim made by another person. In this case, option D. is a common sense counterclaim since it is based on a simple perception of the situation. In other words, unlike the other options, this counterclaim has not been built on statistics, surveys or research results.  Instead, the person that makes the counterclaim has relied on logic by saying that hiring more teachers requires more money.

i'm sorry i don't understand the question.

in   ¨and yet the books¨   by czelaw miloz the tone is positive since it tells us that when we touch a book, it starts to live and the perspective is in the third person and turns once into the first person. in "the rhinoceros" by eugene ionesco the tone is illogical and absurd   and the perspective is in the third person since it is a play.
