Read the claim and counterclaim. Claim: The suffragette-defaced penny is the most historically significant artifact because it signifies a turning point in the fight for British women’s right to vote.

Counterclaim: Thirty-three years before the defaced penny was even created, the first Women’s Suffrage Bill for Parliament had already been introduced with some success and was the true turning point in the fight.

Which statement is the strongest rebuttal to the counterclaim?
However, suffragettes continued to wage their fight through the use of hunger strikes, letter bombings, posters, and disruptions with courts of law.
Therefore, it was this bill that signaled how powerful the fight for women’s suffrage had become in Britain during this time.
However, it was the criminal act of defacing the king’s face on a royal coin that sent an undeniably powerful and shocking message to British society.
Therefore, it was the suffragette-defaced penny that signified the true turning point in the fight for British women’s right to vote.

1. an introductory word, phrase, or clause which is missing the word(s) it is supposed to modify- dangling modifier

words, clauses or phrases which add description is known as a modifier. a modifier is found before or after the target words that they want to describe.

for example: happily, she ran towards her father.

herein, happily precedes 'she', its target.

whereas, when an author forgets to mention the target and includes the modifier thus it is known as a dangling modifier, wherein modifier has nothing to describe. these are the errors which confuse the reader.

2. a noun or pronoun's function within a sentence- elliptical clause

it is a clause in which words are being left out. on the other hand, the missing word is understood due to the logic or pattern of the sentence.

for example:

she had five apples;   kanishk, three.

herein the verb 'had' is missing which is otherwise understood.

3. to quickly run: split infinitive

it refers to the construction of the sentence in which infinitive consists with the word or an adverb between to and verb.

for example, he used to secretly ate those apples.
