Identifying the conclusion of arguments...

I am coming out of the medical field after 10 years and looking to go back to law school for a second Doctorate. Yes, crazy. What is killing me on all of these questions in the Logical Reasoning section is correctly identifying the conclusion of these passages. My brain has been trained for almost 20 years now to take in all parts of the information and find the most summarizing point encompassing it, then make a decision. When I go through the lessons, I am embarrassed to say that about 50% of the time on my own, I am just not hitting the mark. As soon as the videos point out my error, in conclusion vs premise/principle/subsidiary conclusion I immediately see the error in thinking and can pick the correct multiple choice answer. It is very frustrating being wrong, as this is not something that I am accustomed to professionally, however, I understand it is part of training your brain differently. Even using my notes regarding conclusions, I am missing the mark. Would anyone be able to help "rephrase" this into different language, as what I have in the study materials is not helping currently?

Sometimes I look for additional information, mainly on YouTube, and correlate between the lessons.
