The comment: Consider opposing viewpoints

• What about the other side?
• Counterargument?

• Read more to learn about the debates surrounding the topic.
• Ask questions. Are there other sides to the issue? Would a reasonable person offer an alternative explanation for the evidence or provide counterevidence?
• Be open-minded. Although it might seem illogical to introduce opposing arguments, you’ll show your knowledge of the topic by recognizing that not everyone draws the same conclusion.
• Introduce and counter objections with phrases like these: “Some readers might point out that . . .” or “Critics of this view argue that. . .”
• Revise your thesis, if necessary, to account for other points of view.
