LSAT Practice Test

What is an example of an additional premise indicator?

1. In addition

2. Therefore

3. Owing to

4. Thus

The correct answer is: In addition

An additional premise indicator is a word or phrase that signals the introduction of an additional premise in an argument. In this case, "In addition" is an example of an additional premise indicator because it explicitly signifies that another premise is about to be presented to support the argument. The other options - "Therefore," "Owing to," and "Thus" - do not serve as additional premise indicators. "Therefore" indicates a conclusion or result, "Owing to" indicates the reason behind something, and "Thus" is often used to show a conclusion reached from previous premises. These three choices do not specifically indicate the introduction of a new premise to support the argument, unlike the correct answer, which clearly does.
