Complete the exercise on p. 11-12 (15 questions) on premises and conclusions. Submit your homework here (make sure to have your completed homework with you before you begin). TIP: You do NOT have the ability to start and pause homework submissions. You must complete it once you begin.

TIP: Identifying the conclusion takes practice! You will have to read the passage several times to figure it out.
If you are having a difficult time determining premises and conclusions, the following method may help:
Try reading the group of sentences with the word "therefore" in front of each sentence. This might help you locate the conclusion.
Try reading the group of sentences with the word "because" in front of each sentence. This might help you locate the premises.
Going through this process will take a little bit of time, but it will most likely help you identify the conclusion and the premises.

TIP: A conclusion is NOT an example, a statistic, a definition, background information, or evidence.
