The most effective counterargument to the opposing claim would be the statement "Shark attacks are extremely rare." To determine this, we can evaluate the effectiveness of each response by examining how well it addresses the opposing claim.
- "Sharks mistake people on surfboards for turtles": While this statement provides a reason why people might get attacked by sharks, it does not directly address the opposing claim that swimming in the ocean is a great experience.
- "People should not swim in shark-infested waters": This response suggests that people should avoid swimming in areas known to be inhabited by sharks. While it is a valid precaution, it does not directly challenge the idea that swimming in the ocean is a great experience.
- "Sharks are attracted to splashing": This statement provides an explanation for why shark attacks might happen but does not directly counter the opposing claim that swimming in the ocean is a great experience.
- "Shark attacks are extremely rare": This response directly challenges the opposing claim by asserting that shark attacks are infrequent. It provides evidence to reassure individuals that the risk of being attacked by a shark while swimming in the ocean is minimal, making it the most effective counterargument.
Therefore, the statement "Shark attacks are extremely rare" would be the most effective counterargument to the opposing claim.
