In an argumentative context, which phrase does not signal a premise but rather a conclusion?

Indicates that
Follows that
Shows that
Clear need

The correct answer is: Shows that

In arguments, premises are the statements that provide support or evidence for the conclusion. The phrases "Indicates that," "Follows that," and "Clear need" typically signal premises as they are used to introduce reasons or evidence in support of a conclusion. However, the phrase "Shows that" usually signals the conclusion itself, not a premise. This phrase is often used to summarize the reasoning or evidence presented and is commonly found at the end of an argument to state the ultimate point being made. Therefore, "Shows that" is the phrase that does not signal a premise but rather a conclusion in an argumentative context.
