From another thread:

Remember that the main point is the conclusion of the passage. If you're ever confused about which part of a passage is a premise/principle and which part is the conclusion, try using each to explain the other.

In this case, which makes the most logical sense?

P: Saying something false is always morally wrong
P: It was not true that Mark got into a traffic accident
C: It was wrong for Mark to tell his mother he missed her party because he got into an accident.

OR

P: It was not true that Mark got into a traffic accident.
P: It was wrong for Mark to tell his mother that he missed her party because he got into an accident.
C: Saying something false is always morally wrong.

You can't use the fact that it was wrong for Mark to lie to his mother to conclude that lying is always morally wrong.

A general principle will be a generalization that supports the passage but is not directly related to the particular scenario outlined therein.

In this case, the statement "saying something that is false can never be other than morally wrong" supports Helen's conclusion but it does not directly address the situation with Mark and his mother. Rather, it is a general principle which can be applied to any situation.

Hope this is helpful! Please let us know if you have any further questions.

The conclusion is the first sentence and not the second because the author of the passage is using a general principle (which is contained in the second sentence and says that it's always wrong to say something that's false) in order to provide support for the statement that it was wrong for Mark to tell his mother what he did. When reading this, you should be thinking after reading the first sentence, "Why was it wrong for Mark to do that?" The second sentence tells us why. Any time a sentence or phrases gives you the "why" for something, it's being used as support for another statement, which is the conclusion.
