Passage / Scenario
Beard SuperiorityUnlike most others who follow along with popular trends, I am able to truly see that the beard is superior to the mustache. First, you have so much more hair and space to work with when styling a beard than you do with a mustache. You can trim and cut a beard into so many styles: the Muttonchop, the Goatee, the Stubble, the Chin Strap. You can even add things to your beard: braids, beads, glitter, and color-the possibilities of what you can add to a beard are endless! There are even professional competitions that surround the stylish nature of beards.
What is a counterclaim to the argument presented in the passage?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The passage argues in favor of the superiority of beards over mustaches, highlighting the versatility and styling options of beards. Choice D provides a counterclaim by suggesting that beards may be hazardous in certain professional lines of work. This counterargument challenges the notion that beards are always superior by pointing out potential risks associated with them in specific job environments.
