Which term describes contradiction or opposition in argument?

• A. Pagsalungat
• B. Paghahambing at pagtatambis
• C. Basal
• D. Mabuting edukasyon

Answer: (A)

Contradiction or opposition in an argument is shown by the act of pagsalungat. It’s when you oppose a claim and present reasons or evidence that challenge it, signaling a direct clash with what was stated. This makes it the most precise term for describing opposing a claim in an argument. The other options don’t fit as neatly: paghahambing at pagtatambis covers both comparing and countering points, which is broader than a simple contradiction; basal isn’t a rhetorical term for argument; mabuting edukasyon is unrelated to argumentative moves. For example, if someone claims a policy will reduce costs, offering evidence that costs might stay the same or increase is a pagsalungat.
