What support strategies can authors use for their conclusions?

"Argue by analogy?"
"Use an example to prove a point?"
"Eliminate possible alternative explanations?"
"Offer an alternative explanation?"

The correct answer is: "Argue by analogy?"

Authors can use "argue by analogy" as a support strategy for their conclusions by drawing parallels between two different scenarios or situations. By showing how a similar situation led to a particular outcome, authors can strengthen their argument for the conclusion they are presenting. This technique helps readers understand the validity of the conclusion by connecting it to a known or familiar situation. Options B, C, and D are not the correct support strategies for conclusions. Using an example to prove a point may be helpful in some cases, but it is not as strong as drawing an analogy. Eliminating possible alternative explanations and offering alternative explanations are more related to evaluating arguments rather than providing support for conclusions.
