An Astronomer believes that the conditions in our solar system have likely favored the emergence of life when compared to the conditions of most other solar systems of a similar age. This is because any form of life needs adequate amounts of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, and our sun has an unusually high supply of these heavier elements for its age.

This is one of two premises that support the Astronomer’s main conclusion.

No evidence is provided for this claim, and it is used (alongside the rest of the sentence) to support the Astronomer’s main (and only) conclusion.

While no evidence is provided for this claim, it does not support another statement. The fact that our sun has large amounts of these heavy elements works independently does not receive any support. They both support the Astronomer’s main conclusion

There is no evidence provided for this claim. This receives no support anywhere in the argument; it only gives support to the main conclusion.

This is not the conclusion of the argument because it does not receive any support. The conclusion is about our solar system being more favorable for the development of life

This is not a conclusion because it does not receive any support. Furthermore, there is only one conclusion in this argument.
