Question Type:
ID the Conclusion

Stimulus Breakdown:
A couple studies were done. From this, a recommendation is concluded.

Answer Anticipation:
The results of studies are almost always premises, and the "then" in the last statement is used in a concluding sense. Additionally, recommendations are usually conclusions, so let's find that last line as an answer.

Correct answer:
(C)

Answer choice analysis:
(A) Inverse. This answer choice flips the conclusion around, making the time frame and length sufficient for the maximally productive meeting instead of necessary ("nees to have").

(B) The study is a premise.

(C) Bingo. The "needs" in the conclusion indicates what is necessary, just like the "only if" here.

(D) Study? Premise.

(E) Study? Premise.

Takeaway/Pattern:
If the conclusion in an ID the Conclusion question is a conditional, watch out for illegal reversals and negations!
