Unit 5: Rebuttal: Line-by-Line and Frontlining

1. 1. Line-by-line refutation means:

   Reading a pre-written case with no changesResponding to arguments in the same order they were originally presentedResponding only to the argument you find easiestWaiting until Final Focus to respond to anything

2. 2. Frontlining refers to:

   Reading new evidence in Final FocusDefending your own case against attacks made on itAsking questions in CrossfireAttacking the other team's case for the first time

3. 3. True or False?

   "An unanswered attack on a contention may be treated by the judge as effectively conceded."

   TrueFalse

4. 4. A turn differs from defense because a turn:

   Converts the opponent's own argument into offense for your sideIs always weaker than defenseRequires no evidenceCan only be used in Final Focus

5. 5. Grouping arguments is useful when:

   The judge asks you to skip argumentsThere is unlimited Rebuttal timeOnly one contention exists in the roundSeveral opposing sub-points share the same underlying weakness

6. 6. True or False?

   "Turns require no further extension once made because they win automatically."

   TrueFalse

Take a contention from Unit 4's practice case and write a full line-by-line rebuttal against it, including at least one turn and one defensive response.
