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

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

   Responding to arguments in the same order they were originally presentedReading a pre-written case with no changesWaiting until Final Focus to respond to anythingResponding only to the argument you find easiest

2. 2. Frontlining refers to:

   Asking questions in CrossfireDefending your own case against attacks made on itReading new evidence in Final FocusAttacking 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:

   Can only be used in Final FocusConverts the opponent's own argument into offense for your sideRequires no evidenceIs always weaker than defense

5. 5. Grouping arguments is useful when:

   The judge asks you to skip argumentsOnly one contention exists in the roundSeveral opposing sub-points share the same underlying weaknessThere is unlimited Rebuttal time

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.
