What does the keyword "For" typically signal in an argument's chain of reasoning?

  1. Conclusion

  2. Evidence

  3. Necessity

  4. Sufficient condition

The correct answer is: Evidence

Keywords such as "For" in an argument's chain of reasoning typically signal evidence rather than the conclusion. In this context, "For" is often used to introduce premises or supporting evidence that lead to or support the main conclusion of the argument. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention to such keywords to accurately identify the evidence provided in the argument. Option A (Conclusion) is incorrect because the keyword "For" does not typically signal the conclusion but rather the evidence supporting the conclusion. Option C (Necessity) and Option D (Sufficient condition) are also incorrect as they are not typically signaled by the keyword "For" in an argument's chain of reasoning.
