Neural Precursor Cells hold great potential for treating a variety of neurodegenerative diseases and injuries to the spinal cord. The stem cells possess the ability to differentiate into multiple types of neural cell, depending upon their environment. As a result, there is great interest to use these cells to repair spinal cord damage and help bring back connectivity.

Because The stem cells possess the ability to differentiate into multiple types of neural cell, depending upon their environment.Therefore Neural Precursor Cells hold great potential for treating a variety of neurodegenerative diseases and injuries to the spinal cord. As a result, there is great interest to use these cells to repair spinal cord damage and help bring back connectivity.
P: Neural Precursor Cells hold great potential for treating a variety of neurodegenerative diseases and injuries to the spinal cord
P: The stem cells possess the ability to differentiate into multiple types of neural cell, depending upon their environment
C: As a result, there is great interest to use these cells to repair spinal cord damage and help bring back connectivity
Breakdown: Obviously, if you can do what I just did above, you can solve this question in less than a minute. But how do you do that? You use the "because/therefore" method to determine a premise and to determine a conclusion. A premise is always the because, and the conclusion the therefore. Here, the issue is realizing that first sentence is a major premise/sub-conclusion that supports the main conclusion. By switching up the order, we can see how one supports another, which the conclusion.
Put another way, by asking yourself "why" during a statement, you can find support for it; that support is a premise that helps a conclusion or sub-conclusion.
Which one of following best describes the bold faced part of the passage?
(A) It is the main conclusion of the argument -- Nope, it supports something else AND the last sentence is the main conclusion
(B) It is a premise that supports another premise -- It doesn't support another premise; it supports the conclusion
(C) It is a premise that supports another premise that supports the main conclusion -- reversed, as it does not support another premise; another premise supports it
(D) It is a conclusion that is supported by a premise and is used to support the main conclusion -- Perfect. It is a sub-conclusion that is supported and used as support.
(E) It is a conclusion that is not supported -- Nope, as it is supported.
