Answer:
The purpose of presenting a counterclaim is to validate any objections to the claim being made.
Explanation:
A counterclaim is a claim that rebuts a previous claim.
To rebut is to claim or prove that something is false.
So rebutting a previous claim in which one is trying to prove that something is false, is simply trying to make your objections valid.
When making a counterclaim, you're trying to show or prove that what someone else said is untrue or false and the main purpose of making a counterclaim is to show your objections to the previous claim and validate it (that is showing that it is valid).
