LSAT Practice Test

What expression commonly introduces a counter-premise in logical reasoning?

1. however

2. on the other hand

3. yet

4. still

The correct answer is: however

The correct answer is A. "however". When introducing a counter-premise in logical reasoning, "however" is commonly used to signal a shift in perspective or to present a contrasting viewpoint. This transition word indicates a change in direction or a contradiction to the previous premise, making it a common choice for introducing counter-premises in arguments. Options B, C, and D - "on the other hand", "yet", and "still" - while they can also indicate contrast or present opposing views, they are not as commonly used in logical reasoning to introduce counter-premises as "however" is.
