Clarification of MP concept in LG bibe + PT 70

[kupwarriors9]

I just wanted to clarify a MP concept from the Logic Games Bible using a question from a PT as an example. If a question stem asks you to find the overall conclusion, do you find the general main point of the stimulus? Whereas, if the question stem asks you to find the main conclusion, do you find the 'main' conclusion (i.e. not the sub conclusion) ? --> this was my interpretation of the MP section of the LG bible.

For example, in October 2013 Digital LR2 16, if the question stem asked me to find the MAIN conclusion would've the correct answer been A "Only those people with Barrett’s...increased risk of developing cancer from heartburn?" However, when asked for the overall conclusion, C is actually correct since it's the general main point of the passage?

Thanks,
KWI

Am I correct? (sorry I write the LSAT in a few days and want to be certain of myself) thank you

KWI,

The main conclusion is the main point. In Logical Reasoning, these are just synonymous terms.

Overall conclusion = conclusion of the argument as a whole = main conclusion = main point

All of those mean the same thing.

Thus, for October 2013 Digital LR2 16, "This is simply false" is the main conclusion and the overall conclusion. These two will never differ.
