Explanation on Sentence Structure
The answer may be super simple. Still, I'm struggling to understand how a conclusion can be one part of the sentence; instead of the entire sentence.
How do you rule out one half of the sentence, to make the other half of the sentence the conclusion?

Thanks for the question! Don't think too rigidly about dividing everything into "sentences." Instead, divide everything into ideas, or claims/premises. That will reveal the argument structure more clearly without getting you trapped in the grammar of everything. Thus, if one sentence expresses two ideas (especially if there's an obviously split, like a semicolon), we can often treat them as two separate claims, even though they're expressed in the same grammatical unit. Hope this helps!
