Question

Where in a persuasive essay should you include the counter argument?

• A. Introduction
• B. Body paragraph
• C. Conclusion
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Body paragraph

In a persuasive essay, counterarguments are included in the body paragraphs as it states the details and evidence, facts and figures, and every description to support the ideas against opposing views. Option B is, therefore, the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect because in the introduction the author is most likely to present his views and stance; so it would not make sense to state the counter-argument in the very beginning without actually mentioning what it is arguing against.

Option C is incorrect because there has to be a rebuttal paragraph after the counter-argument, so if the counter-argument is in the conclusion, something has been left out.

Option D is incorrect because the correct answer has already been chosen
