In a population of animals, a trait that is very maladaptive will not last long. Some animals will not have the trait because of genetic variation across the population. Those without it will be stronger and more successful in competing for resources. Because they are more successful, more without the trait will survive and reproduce, and will eventually overtake those with the trait.

This is a premise that lends support to the argument. It lets us know why those without the trait will survive at higher rates and be able to crowd out those with it. That lets us know why the trait will not last long in the population. The proposition doesn’t receive any support, so it’s just a regular old premise.

The argument is not trying to discredit the statement in question. It takes the statement as true and uses it to support why a maladaptive trait won’t last long.

This proposition doesn’t receive any support, so it can’t be any kind of conclusion. Instead, it is a statement that supports the argument.

This is accurate because the proposition just lends support in the argument.

The evidence supports the conclusion. The argument recognizes this evidence as true and uses it to support the argument.

It cannot be an intermediate conclusion because it doesn’t get support from any other part of the argument.
