The claim that people have positive or negative responses to many nonsense words plays which one of the following roles in the argument?

Counterpremise
Conclusion
Evidence
Assumption

The correct answer is: Evidence

In this argument, the claim that people have positive or negative responses to many nonsense words serves as evidence. It provides support for the main point or thesis of the argument, which is likely related to the significance or impact of these responses. The evidence is used to strengthen the argument and convince the reader of the validity of the main point being made. Option A (Counterpremise) would suggest a point that goes against the main argument. Option B (Conclusion) would be the main point of the argument itself. Option D (Assumption) would be an unstated premise that the argument relies on but doesn't explicitly state.
