Argue
Hi teachers,
Argue is synonymous with disagree.
1. I'd argue that Jane's a genus. Does that mean "I don't think Jane's a genus"?
2. Her lawyer argued the killing was in self-defense. What does this sentence mean?
3. Experts say the trial could be a critical test for the so-called battered-woman defense in which attorneys argue a history of abuse ultimately leads their defendants to kill. Would you please what do the attorneys think?
Thank you

Hi Philip,
I excerpted the text:
Indeed, I know people are comparing you with Edison and Ford and other great American inventors and already putting you on a pedestal. And that's certainly not without merit. But I'd argue that you're unique. Like a technology that can never be replicated. Clearly you were a visionary.
