Can conclusions be split between sentences?

By which, I mean can a conclusion be divided between two complete sentences. Where in the sum of the two sentences create the fully fleshed out conclusion. If so, does the sentence have to have a comma or can it be “Sentence 1. +Sentence 2 = conclusion.”

    Yes. That's certainly possible. It's certainly not all that common on the LSAT, though. Be careful though, that one sentence isn't the sub conclusion giving support to the main conclusion.

    I don't see why not: for instance, one sentence might explain or clarify the other. I don't think format would matter.

    That being said, I don't recall seeing many LR stimuli with their conclusions split into 2 sentences.

    Yes. Sometimes it'll happen.
