Explanation

The correct pairing rests on the precise role each item plays in an argument.

A statement is a sentence that can be regarded as true or false.

A premise is a reason offered for accepting another statement or conclusion.

A conclusion is the statement meant to be proved or supported by the premises.

An argument is a group of statements offered to prove or support another statement.

Telling premise from conclusion by their supporting versus supported role fixes the matches.
