What does the author do in a Recommendation?

"The author states the conclusion in terms of, 'if...then...'"
"Apply a general principle to a specific case?"
"Prescriptive Conclusions state what 'should' or 'ought' to be the case."
"In a Recommendation, the author proposes a course of action."

The correct answer is: "In a Recommendation, the author proposes a course of action."

In a recommendation, the author proposes a course of action. This means that the author suggests a specific plan or steps to be taken in a given situation. This differs from the other choices: A. "The author states the conclusion in terms of, 'if...then...'" This answer choice describes a conditional statement, which is not specific to recommendations. B. "Apply a general principle to a specific case" implies applying a broad idea to a particular scenario, which is not the primary purpose of a recommendation. C. "Prescriptive Conclusions state what 'should' or 'ought' to be the case." While recommendations often involve stating what should be done, this option is not as direct as stating a specific course of action.
