My answers:

2. present arguments in order of importance.
3. I know.
Your first two answers are correct. However, "I know." is a complete sentence. It has a subject and a verb.
Which one doesn't have a verb?
"for more years!"
*actually, #1 was incorrect. The right answer is Many property owners might think the initial expense is too high.
You're right about "four more years."
And I also missed the counterargument part of the question. Your answer about the initial expense is an example of a counterargument.
I'm glad you caught our errors. :-)
Your answers are correct!
1. In a persuasive essay about the need to install solar panels on top of big apartment buildings, it is important to address counterarguments. Among the options given, the counterargument that should be addressed is: Many property owners might think the initial expense is too high. This counterargument suggests that property owners might hesitate to install solar panels due to the high initial cost. Addressing this counterargument in the essay would help persuade property owners by presenting counterpoints or solutions to alleviate their concerns about the expense.
2. When drafting a persuasive essay, it is indeed essential to: present arguments in order of importance. By organizing your arguments in a logical and hierarchical manner, you can effectively convey your main points while also strengthening your persuasive stance. Presenting arguments in order of importance helps to build a strong case and ensures that your key points are highlighted and well-supported throughout the essay.
3. The sentence that is not complete is: Four more years! This is an incomplete sentence fragment as it lacks a subject and a verb. It seems to be a statement related to some context, but without proper structure, it cannot function as a complete sentence.
