2. Since light takes time to reach our eyes, all that we see really existed in the past. (Louis Pojman, The Theory of Knowledge )3. Life changes when you least expect it to. The future is uncertain. So seize this day, seize this moment, and make the most of it.( Jim Valvano, quoted in Mike Krzyzewski, Leading with the Heart )4.

Explanation :

Premise is a statement in an argument that provides support and basis for the conclusion. From the above we can easily notice that the premise functions as evidence or additional information to support the conclusion of an argument so that it follows through logically. The premise is known as the factual claim in an argument while the conclusion is known as the inferential claim( since it makes inferences from the premise).
