When in LSAT formal logic is the term "Consequently" used as a signal?

  1. A. Mutually Exclusive

  2. B. Necessity

  3. C. Conclusion

  4. D. Sufficient Condition

The correct answer is: C. Conclusion

In LSAT formal logic, the term "Consequently" is used as a signal to indicate a conclusion. This signifies that the information provided before the term "Consequently" leads to or supports the statement that follows it. Therefore, when you encounter the term "Consequently" in a logical reasoning question, it is signaling that the information preceding it is leading to a conclusion being drawn. The other answer choices are not correct in this context: - "Mutually Exclusive" refers to events that cannot occur simultaneously. - "Necessity" involves something that is required but doesn't specifically address the signal "Consequently." - "Sufficient Condition" refers to a condition that, if met, guarantees the outcome, but it is not the direct signal indicated by "Consequently." Therefore, the correct answer is C. Conclusion.
