How do I know this is a set of facts compared to an argument?

It seemed like an argument based on the first sentence, which I thought was the conclusion of the argument. Is this not an opinion?

    that's what I thought as well... wondering the same thing.. but then when I worked through the logic diagram the supposed "conclusion" didn't fit into the logic chain.. I figured then that the true conclusion with where the logic was going was implied rather than directly state. Just my thoughts on the matter

    Hi, LSATMax! I was also hoping to have advice on this. I sometimes struggle to differentiate an argument from a set of facts on the LSAT. Are we primarily looking for key word indicators?

    Hi, we should look for a conclusion. An argument has a conclusion, a thing that the author is trying to prove. A set of facts will not have a conclusion. More so, must be true, cannot be true, and paradox questions are sets of facts, the others are almost all arguments.
