Can I be sure that a strengthening or weakening problem always contains a conclusion?

Hi Schachfreizeit.
Strengthen and Weaken questions will always involve a conclusion because their correct answers always strengthen or weaken the support for a conclusion.
However, the conclusion is not always directly stated and it's not always in the passage.
Sometimes, the conclusion is implied.
For example: The directors have developed a plan for making sure that the employees can get their nutrition from plant-based foods.
That sentence implies that the directors have concluded that their plan will work.
In other cases, the conclusion is in the question stem.
For example: Which if the following, if true, would do the most to confirm that the cause of the outcome is the flapping of birds' wings?

Strengthen and weaken questions always ask you to either strengthen or weaken the conclusion. So if these question type will almost always contain a conclusion.
If you want to improve your ability in this type of questions, then you have to find conclusion hidden among the premises. In 90 percent cases, conclusion will be present either at the beginning or at the end.
Finding conclusion and then setting your goal, weather to weaken or strengthen, will improve your accuracy many times.
