Part III of Unit III Drawing a Conclusion Step I. Drawing a Conclusion Definition Drawing a conclusion means arriving at one decision justified by the stated statement. The conclusion should be supported by facts and intended by the author. Example 1.It is a fact that Monday always follows Sunday. Now, since today is Sunday, tomorrow must be Monday. Comment: it’s right. 2.Whenever it rains, the ground gets wet. Since the ground is wet, I can conclude that it is raining. Comment: the conclusion “ ……it is raining” is wrong. After thinking about the stated facts, you can conclude that the ground could be wet for other reasons. 3.Hard work is always rewarded, but Bob has not received sufficient reward for his work. We can conclude that Bob does not work hard enough. Comment: the conclusion “Bob does not work hard enough” is wrong. You have learned through personal experience that hard work is not always rewarded. It is therefore wrong to conclude that Bob does not work hard enough. There could be other reasons why Bob has been rewarded.
