Read the passage from an argumentative essay.

Social media is hurting students' educations. According to one recent study, students who used social media had a lower GPA than students who did not, and students who studied while using social media scored 20% lower on tests. However, it is true that some students use social media to improve in school by talking about classes, homework, and other educational topics.

To make the argument stronger, the best way for the writer to revise the paragraph is to add

a counterclaim to address the rebuttal.

a more detailed initial claim statement.

a rebuttal to address the counterclaim.

a rhetorical device to appeal to logic.
