Which term serves as a premise indicator?

  1. After all

  2. Moreover

  3. Thus

  4. Owing to

The correct answer is: Owing to

In this question, we are looking for a term that serves as a premise indicator. Premise indicators are words that typically introduce the reasons or evidence in an argument. In this case, "Owing to" is the correct answer because it signals that a premise is about to be presented to support a conclusion. The other choices, "After all," "Moreover," and "Thus," do not serve as premise indicators. "After all" is more of a conclusion indicator, indicating a conclusion is being drawn. "Moreover" is used to add further information or support to an existing point. "Thus" is often used to show a logical consequence or conclusion rather than introducing a premise.
