Juan's paper argues that conflict-resolution education should be increased in schools because school violence is increasing in the united states. during peer evaluation, his friend offers a counterclaim that conflict-resolution education is not necessary because the friend has never taken a conflict-resolution class. is this counterclaim appropriate? why or why not? a. yes, it is both defensible and arguable. b. no, because it is not arguable. c. no, because it is not defensible. d. no, because it is neither defensible nor arguable.

D. No, because it is neither defensible nor arguable.

Explanation:

A counterclaim is supposed to provide a convincing argument and enough evidence to prove a claim wrong.

The reason Juan's friend presents to prove Juan wrong only demonstrates his own ignorance towards the subject.

The counterclaim is not defensible since not having experience on a topic is no excuse to assert it is of no relevance, and it is not arguable because it can be proven that in fact he has never taken a class on the subject - although that doesn't make the counterclaim any valid.
