What does "Thus" signal in a logical reasoning context?

Conclusion
Premise
Contradiction
Explanation

The correct answer is: Conclusion

In a logical reasoning context, "Thus" typically signals a conclusion. When an argument is presented and the word "Thus" is used, it usually means that the statement following it is the result or the conclusion drawn from the premises or supporting evidence provided before it. This helps the reader or listener understand the logical flow of the argument and the point that is being made. Premises are the evidence or reasons given to support a conclusion, so the correct answer is not "Premise." "Contradiction" implies a conflicting statement rather than a conclusion, making it an incorrect choice. "Explanation" is a statement that clarifies or makes something easier to understand, but it is not the same as a conclusion. Thus, the correct choice is indeed "Conclusion."
