I'm presenting here an argument from a quiz that I took (and just got back)
in my philosophy (critical reasoning) course. Needless to say, I scored
highest in the class by getting everything correct except for this one. I will
later explain what statement I underlined as the conclusion and why I
believed the other statements were premises in support of it. Before I do, I'd
like you to give it a shot and explain.


Identify the conclusion:

"As you may know, thinking is a lot like swimming. In swimming it's easy to
float on the top but hard to dive deep. Similarly, it's easy in thinking to float
along on the surface of an issue but difficult to use your intellect to delve
down into the layers."
