What does the word "Because" typically signal in a sentence, according to formal logic?

A. Assumption
B. Conclusion
C. Evidence
D. Necessity

The correct answer is: C. Evidence

In formal logic, the word "Because" typically signals evidence rather than assumption, conclusion, or necessity. Using the word "Because" indicates that the information presented after it is used as support or justification for the statement that comes before it. In logical reasoning, the evidence is the information provided to support a conclusion. Therefore, in formal logic, when "Because" is used, it is indicating the evidence for the statement being made.
