Question: 1 / 575

Identify the term that signals a counter-premise in logical reasoning.

in contrast

admittedly

for this reason

although

The correct answer is "D. although" because this term typically introduces a statement that runs contrary to the main argument or position being presented. In logical reasoning, when you encounter the word "although," it signifies that a counter-premise or an opposing idea is about to be introduced. This helps to demonstrate a contrasting viewpoint or to present a different perspective that may weaken the main argument.

The other options:

A. "in contrast" typically signals a shift to a different perspective or viewpoint rather than specifically indicating a counter-premise.

B. "admittedly" is an introductory term used to acknowledge a point made by someone else but does not necessarily introduce a counter-premise.

C. "for this reason" is used to connect a premise to a conclusion, showing the reason or cause for the argument, rather than introducing a counter-premise.
