Hey everyone,
I'm having difficulty determining how the conclusion of the passage is the conclusion. I thought the conclusion was "I was late to my meeting" because it's preceded by a reasoning. I thought the hypothetical conditional "If the maintenance had been done a different day" is a premise because it's trying to justify the reason why the person was late.
Can someone help me figure this out? I'm noticing that I'm having a hard time identifying conclusions for this test (I also got S3 Q. 17 "identify the conclusion" wrong).

"I was late to my meeting" is simply an observation. It's what happened. This statement is explained, but an explanation is not an argument. The only way to really argue that would be something like:
Anyone who arrives more than five minutes after something is supposed to begin is late. The meeting started at 11 and I did not arrive until 11:15. Therefore, I was late to the meeting.
