Finding the Conclusion

Lauren Rene

Hi all, in this passage, is the conclusion the first sentence?

BlueRiceCake

Which questions from what prep test are you talking about?

Lauren Rene

@BlueRiceCake sorry about that: PrepTest 1 - Section 3 - Question 13

It's cool, I made the same mistake before too. Typically you want to make the title the question you're looking to get help on

And yes, the first sentence is the conclusion

The first sentence is the conclusion because every other sentence is used as premises to support that sentence.

Seeing eye dogs and police dogs are described by what they do not because of their breed. There are many different breeds of seeing eye dogs and police dogs.

Pitbulls are like seeing eye dogs and police dogs.

So they are designated by what they do and not their breed

Which is paraphrased in C

The conclusion, as stated above, is a sentence or part of a sentence that is supported by the premises. It can also be stated as a claim or an opinion, which is another indicator.

@WinningHere @BlueRiceCake thank you both! I was looking for the "but"/"however" which I think threw the whole question off for me 😅

Hi Lauren, But or however would indicate upcoming premises most likely.
