LSAT Practice Test

What term typically comes before a statement that logically proceeds from the previous information?

1. Accordingly

2. Shows that

3. Accordingly

4. Hence

The correct answer is: Accordingly

A statement that logically proceeds from the previous information means that it is the next logical step or consequence based on the information provided before it. The word "accordingly" is typically used to introduce a conclusion or result that is based on the information or actions previously stated. In other words, it provides a logical link between two ideas, making it the most fitting term to come before such a statement. The other options, "shows that" and "hence," do not necessarily indicate a link between the previous information and the following statement. They could be used to provide additional information or clarify a point, but they do not specifically indicate a logical progression of ideas. Therefore, they are less suitable options for introducing a statement that logically proceeds from the previous information.
