LSAT Practice Test

Which term is synonymous with "because" in the context provided?

1. For

2. For example

3. Given that

4. Owing to

The correct answer is: For

In this context, the term synonymous with "because" is "For." "For" is commonly used to indicate the reason or cause for something. It is a conjunction that connects two clauses, showing that the second clause is a result of the first clause. The other options are not directly synonymous with "because" in this context: - "For example" introduces an illustration or instance, not a cause-and-effect relationship like "because" does. - "Given that" introduces a condition or assumption, not a direct reason or cause. - "Owing to" is used to show the reason or cause of something, but in this context, "For" is a more direct synonym for "because."
