I don't understand the answer. The question asked what is the conclusion. The "correct" answer only restated premise and the form. The conclusion is the last line of the argument in this type of deductive reasoning question.

It is saying that in London there is all that life can afford SO when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.

The conclusion does not have to come last. It comes first many times.

I thought it was D. Guess Maybe A is correct because the whole sentence is telling about A, and D is only a reason that support the sentence A.

Hi Lu,

In the sentence,

'for there is in London all that life can afford'

you can replace the word 'for' with 'because':

'because there is in London all that life can afford'

This indicates that the sentence is presenting a reason or premise for the conclusion: 'When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.'

I don't understand why the latter part of the sentence is not important

Zhao Lu, as in the explanation by Contributor Nova Press, the latter part of the sentence is not "not important", but it is more of a reasoning for the conclusion.
