This is an excerpt from the chapter "Strengthen the Conclusion" in our book "EducationAisle Critical Reasoning Nirvana":
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patterns in Strengthen the Conclusion
Provide a similar example to illustrate that the proposed plan/action worked
As goes the idiom, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating”. The argument would typically propose a plan/an action/a remedy that we are supposed to strengthen. The correct answer choice would depict that a similar plan/action/remedy worked elsewhere.
It should be noted however that when depicting a plan/action/remedy (that worked elsewhere), the answer choice must establish that the conditions were similar. For instance, a proposed plan for increasing the literacy rate in a rural area cannot be strengthened by depicting that the same plan worked in a metro city.
Easy, isn't it? Let us see how skilled you are at applying this concept, to the question below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question
The city of Velmorra has for long struggled with air pollution. Since industrial pollution is a major contribution to this air pollution, the Government of Velmorra is planning to impose stiff penalties on industries that continue to use fossil fuels.
What, if true, would most strongly indicate that the plan will be a success?

Solution
One correct answer to the above question is:
In the neighboring city of Lunaris, which has a similar economic landscape as Velmorra, such penalties resulted in a significant number of industries in Lunaris converting to sustainable energy sources.
The correct answer depicts that a similar plan (of imposing stiff penalties on industries that continue to use fossil fuels) worked the neighboring city of Lunaris. This answer choice also establishes the similarity of conditions between Velmorra and Lunaris, by mentioning that Lunaris has an economic landscape similar to that of Velmorra.
