I was confused by Q2, but I decided on this:

Premise- If Max were guilty, he would not ask the police to investigate.

Intermediate Conclusion- Therefore, his asking the police to investigate shows that he is not guilty.

Main (Implied) Conclusion- Max is not guilty

Because the premise is a conditional statement, the second sentence does the work of being supported by the premise and supporting that Max isn't guilty...

correct me if I'm wrong, please....

I thought the same thing, then I realized I was filling in gaps with my own assumptions about what libraries and bookstores are like.

Sentence 1 places libraries and bookstores in the "intellectual places" category. Sentence 2 makes a claim about "most well-stocked intellectual places," but never tells us that libraries and bookstores are well-stocked.

That's where I caught myself bringing in outside knowledge to draw a connection that isn't actually in the text. Hope this helps!
