In an If-Then statement, the clause that immediately follows the word 'only' becomes which part?

• A. Trigger
• B. Condition
• C. Premise
• D. Result

Answer: (D)

In an If-Then statement, the second part expresses what happens as a consequence if the condition is met. When the word only appears, it tightens that consequence to a single outcome. The clause immediately after only describes that outcome, the result of the condition. For example, if you study, you will only pass the exam—the part after only states the result, the sole consequence. The trigger or condition is the part beginning with if, not the clause after only.
