What key words in a Logical Reasoning question indicate that you should use the denial test?

Less-than or Equal
More than or Equal
Necessity
Need not be

The correct answer is: Necessity

In Logical Reasoning questions, the denial test is a technique used to determine the necessary condition in conditional statements. When you see key words like "necessity" in a Logical Reasoning question, it indicates that you should use the denial test. This is because identifying the necessary condition is crucial in understanding the relationships between different elements in the argument. By denying the necessary condition in the statement and then seeing if the rest of the statement still holds true, you can confirm the importance of that particular element. The other options are not indicators for using the denial test. Terms like "less-than or equal," "more than or equal," and "need not be" do not specifically suggest the need to employ the denial test in analyzing the logical relationship within the statement.
