CLAIM: Human cloning would provide no real advantage to humankind. COUNTERCLAIM: There are too many people in the world already.
Which replacement text would MOST improve this pair of statements?

The correct answer is Counterclaim: Cloning people could help eliminate genetic disorders

Explanation:

In general, the counterclaim should propose an opposite perspective to an issue or situation that the one stated in the main claim. This does not occur in the original statements because both the claim and their counterclaim show human cloning is negative. One simple way to correct this is to change the counterclaim and make this propose a positive perspective about human cloning. This only occurs in "Cloning people could help eliminate genetic disorders" because this shows human cloning could be beneficial and this directly opposes the idea this practice has no advantages or benefits.
