What is the rule for the word "unless" in the context given?

It indicates a condition that must be met.
It reverses the meaning of the following statement.
It emphasizes the preceding statement.
It has no impact on the meaning.

The correct answer is: It reverses the meaning of the following statement.

In this context, the word "unless" typically functions to reverse the meaning of the following statement. When "unless" is used, it introduces a condition that, if not met, will result in the opposite outcome or conclusion. This reversal is a common way to understand the use of "unless" in logic and language, making choice B the correct answer. Regarding the other options: A. While "unless" does introduce a condition, it doesn't necessarily have to be met. Instead, it states what will happen if the condition is not met. C. "Unless" does not specifically emphasize the preceding statement; its primary function is to set a condition for the following statement. D. The word "unless" does impact the meaning by introducing a condition that affects the outcome or conclusion.
