Which term is the act of countering an opponent's attack to one's argument and thereby rebuilding the argument?

• A. Rebuttal
• B. Resume
• C. Public Lecture
• D. Receiver

Answer: (A)

Countering an opponent's attack and rebuilding your argument is called a rebuttal. In argumentation, a rebuttal is the part where you address objections directly, weaken or refute the opposing point with evidence or reasoning, and then restate or strengthen your own position. This keeps the discussion focused and shows how your argument stands up to challenges. The other terms don’t fit this idea: a resume is just a summary of qualifications, a public lecture is a formal talk, and a receiver is the person who gets the message.
