Jackie is writing a speech that claims that students should sell fruit instead of candy for the school fundraiser. in her speech, jackie wants to rebut the counterclaim that “students should sell candy like last year.” which is the best rebuttal that jackie could use in her speech? i know that we sold candy last year, but we don’t always have to sell candy every year we have a school fundraiser. we could try selling something different this year, like fruit. last year we sold several thousand dollars worth of candy, and all you students ate that candy, which is probably why you want to sell candy again this year. but i don’t think that’s a good reason. i know a lot of students want to sell candy like last year, but fruit tastes sweet too and is better for us. isn’t the country trying to encourage healthier eating these days? last year i sold a lot of candy, just like you did, and we made a lot of money for the school. but i felt guilty selling so much candy to little kids whose teeth would rot and who might have gotten sick from eating all that candy. don’t kids get enough candy as it is?

Honestly it depends where you stand as a person. If you are a greedy person and just doing it for the money and not the enjoyment of kids having a chocolate bar. I don't see a issue in the big picture, if you still want to be some what greedy just make the fundraiser once a week for candy. Less rotting teeth and bigger income.

Hope this helped, Adan

Explanation:

Although it doesn't appear to be a good rebut, I think this is the option that appeals directly to the counterclaim in a good way. The counterclaim is based on the mere idea of selling candys like last year, it doesn't give any support.

Jackie needs to support her idea of selling fruit instead, a good way is comparing candys and fruits and make them equivalents, one is as good as the other. The factor that makes those products similar is the taste, they are both sweet. Now students should put both in the same level and Jackie needs to show the advantages of choosing fruits instead of candys. She appeals to health reasons, fruits are healthy and candys are not. Now that the advantage is stablished she ends her rebut appealing to an authority, the whole country is focused on being healthier and this action is in favour of that. By making it a question she also appeals to the audience's sense of responsability, with the information showed they shouldn't allow unhealthy food to be selled in an irrresponsible way.
