I'm having some difficulty in distinguishing the different terms used in the answer choices of boldface questions. Can someone please help clarify them for me?

conclusion vs. judgement vs. position vs. claim (sometimes, depending on the passage, I feel like they're the same)

finding vs. evidence vs. explanation

circumstance vs. condition

Thanks,
Cin

There are a few articles on BTG that address these types of questions:

An external post on the terms involved:

I've also attached some notes I found on this.

Hope this helps! :)
