If there is a sub-conclusion and main conclusion in a question -- is the more "general" conclusion/broader statement going to be the main conclusion???
Or does it depend on the question??
Thanks!

@erica-scott, happy to help!
If you find yourself stuck trying to determine which of two conclusions is the main conclusion, I would recommend taking a step back and asking yourself "which statement supports the other?" rather than focusing on which is broader. One of the conclusions will always ultimately lend support to the other. This supporting conclusion is the subsidiary conclusion, and the conclusion being supported is the main conclusion.
Does that make sense? Please let us know if you have any other questions!
