What term is commonly used to introduce a counter-premise in logical reasoning?

yet
however
admittedly
although

The correct answer is: however

In logical reasoning, a counter-premise is a premise that runs contrary to the main premise or argument. The term commonly used to introduce a counter-premise is "however." This word signals to the reader that an opposing or contrasting idea is about to be presented. Option A, "yet," is often used to show contrast but is more commonly used at the beginning of a new main premise rather than introducing a counter-premise. Option C, "admittedly," is used to acknowledge a point or fact without necessarily introducing a counter-premise. Option D, "although," is used to introduce a subordinate clause that shows contrast, but it does not specifically indicate a counter-premise as directly as the term "however" does in logical reasoning.
