distinguishing reason and conclusion indicators
Now that you have had some practise identifying inference indicators, we will
examine the way they work.
Some inference indicators indicate a reason and some a conclusion. In the
following exercise, you will be asked to identify the inference indicator in a
short argument. Once you have done this, you will be asked whether it is a
reason indicator or a conclusion indicator.
Use your intuitions. Ask yourself 'Does this word or phrase usually precede
a reason or a conclusion?'
