Confused about practice question 2

I understand the other, questions but I do no understand how we got the answer for practice question 2. Is it best to think about it like this: The goal of main point is to find the point (conclusion) than indicate supporting evidence (premise). The way I go about it is which sentence in the passage needs justification or supporting evidence? I use the answer choices to help (IDK). "Research efforts are justified" option requires us to ask why research efforts are justified? after asking that question. Find evidence (premise). what supports that point? 1. The fact that it is technologically possible for humankind to alter climate (explains why research efforts are justified.) 2. It would take time like anything else (cathedrals and temple) 3.The research would be good to understand the Earths Climate. Making that your conclusion and everything else (supporting evidence) a premise. Idk if that helps but it helped me, and I am struggling to understand.

Hi, this is a real doozy of a question. I would probably focus on just two sentences: that it is not possible to make mars livable, and that if it is possible to make it livable, then attempting to do so is justified. This leads to the unstated conclusion that it's justified to make the effort. The second sentence is just qualifying the first, and the final one is essentially giving us additional context about an ancillary benefit of colonization.
