Which term often precedes a counter-premise in logical reasoning?

yet
although
for this reason
in contrast

The correct answer is: yet

In logical reasoning, a counter-premise is a statement that presents an opposing viewpoint or argument. The term that often precedes a counter-premise is "yet." This word is commonly used to introduce a contrasting or contradictory idea to the main premise or argument. When you see the term "yet" before a statement in an argument, it indicates that the author is about to present a counter-premise to challenge the initial assertion. The other answer choices, although, for this reason, and in contrast, do not typically introduce counter-premises in the same way that "yet" does. While these terms may be used in arguments, they are not as directly associated with introducing opposing viewpoints as "yet" is.
