What rhetorical appeal is the negative using in the

counterclaim to refute the affirmative claim?

Affirmative claim: Standardized test scores should no

longer be required for college admission because they

are weaker indicators of future success than analyses of

high school performance are.

Negative counterclaim: High school performance is a

good indicator of a student's future success, but it would

be just as reckless to consider only this factor as it would

be to consider only standardized test scores.

What key word from the negative's counterclaim

indicates the rhetorical appeal being used?
