LSAT Practice Test

Which term is commonly used as a premise indicator?

1. Therefore

2. Moreover

3. What's more

4. Furthermore

The correct answer is: Furthermore

Premise indicators are words or phrases that signal that a premise, or supporting evidence, is about to be presented. In this question, the term "Furthermore" is the correct answer because it is a common premise indicator. When you see the word "Furthermore" in an argument, it typically signifies that additional support or information is being added to strengthen the argument. The other options, "Therefore," "Moreover," and "What's more," do not typically indicate the introduction of a premise. "Therefore" is a conclusion indicator, signaling that the argument's conclusion is about to be stated. "Moreover" and "What's more" are transition words used to add new and often related information, rather than introducing a premise.
