What indicates a counter-premise in logical reasoning?

  1. still

  2. admittedly

  3. for this reason

  4. although

The correct answer is: although

In logical reasoning, a counter-premise is used to present information that goes against the main premise or argument. The word "although" is commonly used to introduce a counter-premise in an argument. It signals to the reader that the upcoming information will contrast or contradict the previous statement. In this way, "although" is an indicator of a counter-premise in logical reasoning. On the other hand, the other options do not necessarily signal a counter-premise. They may indicate additional supporting information, concession, or causation, but they do not introduce a statement that goes against the main argument like the word "although" does.
