Strengthen the argument statement strengthens the conclusion and fills the gap in reasoning in support of the conclusion. Once you find gap in reasoning, strengthen the argument fills the gap in support of the conclusion and fills the gap.
E.g: - Men are dogs Rats are intelligent Men are intelligent.
The statement Dogs are rats. Strengthens the conclusion and fills the gap in reasoning.

Isn't strengthen the argument statement a stronger premise for the conclusion?
You are some what correct. You have to make your argument strength. So how you can strength it, obviously by strengthening the gap between given premises and conclusion.
I would suggest read the Power Score CR bible and understand the CR.
There are 2 categories in CR - Strengthen and Assumption
Assumption questions fills the gap between the premise and the conclusion by providing one more premise (the missing premise)
Strengthen questions answer choice provides a supporting statement to the overall argument
Now, coming to your question :- "Isn't strengthen the argument statement a stronger premise for the conclusion?" This question is pretty vague the way you asked - by "statement" do you mean the correct answer choice? Also, stronger premise in comparison to what? stronger than the already stated premises in the argument? I think a better worded query would help us better to address you.
