In an essay, a student argues that the town of Waketown should build a new housing subdivision in an area that is a wetland preserve. The new housing area will bring more people and money into the town. In a source, the student finds this
counterclaim to her argument made by a biologist: "Without the wetland preserve, hundreds of species of plant and animal life will perish because they will no longer have the wetlands to live in."

The question wants to analyze your ability to argue and counter-argument. For that reason, I'm not going to answer this question for you, but I'll show you how to answer it.

A counterclaim is a counter-argument, that is, it is a way of countering a previously stated argument.

The counterclaim has the same structure as the argument, which is to present a statement and evidence that confirms it, the difference is that this statement must present a concept contrary to the argument mentioned.

Therefore, to write the counterclaim you must question the statement about building a subdivision on a swamp reserve, showing how this is neither positive nor beneficial.

Matters you can address in your counterclaim

  • Environmental destruction.
  • Problems with fauna and flora.
  • Lack of security in the lot.
  • High cost of establishing the allotment.
