Which term is typically identified as a sufficient condition in Formal Logic?

  1. Necessity

  2. Possibility

  3. Sufficiency

  4. Probability

The correct answer is: Sufficiency

In Formal Logic, a sufficient condition is one that, if present, guarantees the occurrence of another event. It is often indicated by phrases like "if," "whenever," or "every." In contrast, a necessary condition is one that must be present for an event to occur but its presence does not ensure the event will occur. Therefore, "Sufficiency" is the term typically identified as a sufficient condition in Formal Logic. The other options are not the typical terms used to identify a sufficient condition in Formal Logic: - "Necessity" is more related to necessary conditions in Formal Logic. - "Possibility" and "Probability" do not directly relate to the concept of sufficiency in the context of Formal Logic.
