What type of statement is indicated by the term "premise" in the text?

  1. Must be true

  2. Must be false - def

  3. Must be false - opposite

  4. As indicated by

The correct answer is: As indicated by

A "premise" in the context of this question refers to a statement that is used as an initial starting point to support or prove a conclusion. Option A and C do not accurately reflect the definition of a premise, as it does not necessarily have to be true or false, just used as evidence. Option B is also incorrect as a premise does not necessarily have to be false. Option D, "As indicated by", best describes the function of a premise in an argument.
