To allay fears that the new water treatment plant's functionality will be inadequate to turn the city's waste water into sufficiently clean water before it empties into the river, a local city councilwoman held a grand opening where she publicly drank a glass of treated water from the plant. The crowds and members of the media were impressed with her confidence, and the concern blew over. The scientists at the plant later confided that the treated water was indeed cleaner than the river water, but unfortunately, the river had been badly polluted for decades.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
1. The first describes evidence that had been taken in favor of a conclusion; the second gives evidence to question that support.
2. The first describes evidence that had been taken in favor of a conclusion; the second is a conclusion that is in opposition to that evidence.
3. The first gives evidence in support of the argument's conclusion; the second is the conclusion.
4. The first describes a situation that the argument seeks to explain; the second is the explanation of the situation.
5. The first describes a situation that the argument seeks to explain; the second gives evidence to support the explanation of the situation.
Can somebody please help me by explaining how to find the conclusion in this argument?

I felt that the whole question did not make any sense because of the last statement which stated that the river water was more polluted than the treated water. What is the conclusion here. If the conclusion is that the water was good after treatment then there is no grounds to oppose that. The last sentence is just additional info with no value.
