Which of the following is an indicator of a counter-premise in logical reasoning?

  1. on the other hand

  2. even though

  3. for this reason

  4. still

The correct answer is: on the other hand

An indicator of a counter-premise in logical reasoning is a signal that introduces a contrasting or opposing idea to the main argument. In this case, "on the other hand" typically functions to present an opposing viewpoint or evidence that runs counter to the main argument. This transition phrase indicates a shift in perspective or introduces a different side of the issue, making it the correct choice for an indicator of a counter-premise. Options B, C, and D do not typically introduce counter-premises in logical reasoning. Option B, "even though," is often used to introduce a concession or a condition; Option C, "for this reason," usually introduces a premise that supports the main argument rather than a counter-premise; Option D, "still," can be used to show continuation or contrast but not specifically to introduce a counter-premise as effectively as "on the other hand" does in logical reasoning.
