This is an excerpt from the chapter "Strengthen the Conclusion" in our book "EducationAisle Critical Reasoning Nirvana":
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patterns in Strengthen the Conclusion
Fix a weakness of the conclusion/plan
Fixing a weakness of a plan is equivalent to strengthening/supporting/validating the plan.
Easy, isn't it? Let us see how skilled you are at applying this concept, to the question below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
A very popular museum in Pebbletown’s downtown is now being shifted to a low-rent location that is far from downtown. The savings in rent will enable the museum to buy more artefacts, without negatively impacting the museum’s budget.
What, if true, most strengthens the argument?

Solution
One correct answer to the above question is:
A reliable survey of past and prospective visitors of this popular museum showed that virtually none of them would visit the museum any less frequently due to the change in location of the museum.
In the argument, the plan was to shift a popular museum in Pebbletown’s downtown to a low-rent location far from downtown. Perhaps one prominent reason for the popularity of this museum was its location (in the downtown). If that was the case, the plan to shift this museum’s location would clearly be a bad idea. However, since the question stem asks us to strengthen/support this plan, the correct answer choices fixes this weakness by starting that even in its new location, the museum would continue to be as popular.
p.s. This a similar official question, for addition practice.
