The business owner argues that the overall number of jobs in the region would decrease by allowing coal mining despite some new jobs being created. This is because many local businesses depend on the region's beauty, and the presence of coal mining would force most of them to close.

This claim is a premise that supports an intermediate conclusion which supports the main conclusion. The fact that many local businesses depend on natural beauty supports the claim that coal mining would cause them to close. This in turn, supports the main conclusion that more jobs would be lost than gained.

The claim supports the following clause that the coal mining would cause many of these local businesses to close, which in turn supports the main conclusion.

This claim does not directly support the main conclusion. The fact that many businesses depend on the region’s natural beauty only supports the following clause.

This is not an intermediate conclusion. It does not receive support, it gives it.

This is not the overall conclusion. It does not receive support.

This statement is not a hypothesis, and it is intended to support the argument’s overall conclusion.
