Darnell is writing an essay with the following claim:
Teens should be encouraged to host a foreign exchange student for
one semester, because the experience will encourage personal growth
and acceptance of other cultures.
Which statement should Darnell include in his essay to best anticipate and
respond to a counterclaim to his argument?
O A. Some may say that exchange programs detract from high school
students' academics, arguing that the programs lead to excessive
socializing rather than a meaningful exchange of cultural values.
B. Families may worry that hosting an exchange student would be
too expensive, but student travel agencies know how to keep
costs low, and visiting students usually pay most of their own
expenses.
C. The Center for Cultural Exchange states that 50 percent of the
students who participate in a foreign exchange program choose to
visit their foreign student's country during their adult years.
D. While some students may wish to practice their language skills,
even a short visit can often lead to lasting friendships.
