What is the significance of the word "Therefore" in formal logic?

A. Conclusion
B. Contrapositive
C. Denial Test
D. Suffucient Condition

The correct answer is: A. Conclusion

In formal logic, the word "Therefore" is typically used to introduce a conclusion. It signifies that the statement following it is a result or outcome that can be logically inferred from the premises or evidence presented before it. This makes choice A, "Conclusion," the correct answer in this context. The other options are not directly related to the use of the word "Therefore" in formal logic: - Option B, "Contrapositive," refers to a specific type of logical relationship between statements, not the function of the word "Therefore." - Option C, "Denial Test," is not a concept that specifically relates to the function of the word "Therefore." - Option D, "Sufficient Condition," is a term used to describe a type of conditional relationship in logic, but it is not directly linked to the purpose of the word "Therefore."
