Claim: schools should decrease class size by hiring more teachers. which statement is an example of a common sense counterclaim above ? a. research has shown that smaller classes don’t necessarily equal better instruction. b. currently 60 percent of all classes have no more than 30 students each. c. students say they enjoy larger classes more than smaller classes. d. a decrease in size would require more teachers, which be too expensive.

D would be the best fit counter claim because it is stating that it could help but it is more cost efficient to not hire more teachers.

The statement that is an example of a common sense counterclaim is D. a decrease in size would require more teachers, which be too expensive.

Explanation: A common sense counterclaim is a claim based on sound judgement that aims at rebutting a claim made by another person. In this case, option D. is a common sense counterclaim since it is based on a simple perception of the situation. In other words, unlike the other options, this counterclaim has not been built on statistics, surveys or research results.  Instead, the person that makes the counterclaim has relied on logic by saying that hiring more teachers requires more money.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
