$2.$ Get ready

Members of the Quest $12$ x $12$ project team make the following recommendations for increasing tour reservations.

$1.$ Because reservations for Quest tours usually increase when they are promoted actively, that means Quest should run a special promotion for the Trekking Tuscany and Trekking Umbria tours.

$2.$ Since Quest added art classes to its Central American tours, enrollments decreased for those tours. As a result, Quest should stop offering art classes.

$3.$ Customers like all kinds of classes on tours, including cooking workshops, art classes, and language courses. That means Quest should offer some type of class on every tour.

$4.$ The $12$ customers who rated the Australia tour as $$excellent$$ took an optional side trip to the Blue Mountains near Sydney. That means Quest should include the Blue Mountains on its regular Australian itinerary.

$3.$ Now you try it

For each recommendation, identify the premise and the conclusion. Change the text color of the premise to red. Change the text color of the conclusion to blue. If the recommendation is not an argument, indicate that it is an assertion.
