On PT 58.1.13, we have one of the harder main point questions. I got this one correct, but I want to make sure I am understanding the passage correctly.
Does the phrase "it is a given" introduce a premise? Also, does "for such" introduce a premise?
EDIT: I got rid of the "always introduce" since there are probably exceptions. I am more wondering if they tend to introduce premises.

@nye887085 You make a good point. I agree.
@bharbin1544170 @nye887085 I'm a little concerned that always using "it is a given" as a premise indicator might lead in some cases to mistaking a contextual statement as an argument's premise. I would say the phrase -could- be a premise indicator. I agree that it seems like whatever follows is then about to be used as support, but it could be support for "other people's conclusion".
@bharbin1544170 Yes. I would treat "it is a given" and "for such" as premise indicators. "Given" would introduce evidence (premise) for a conclusion. Treat "for such" the same as you would "for".
