Hints
Click on the image to open it in the editor, select it and change it to 'Analysis' form using the 'Change' section of the ribbon menu
Create a new claim box and situate this inside the existing green reason area. If it accidentally attaches as a separate reason then drag the claim box over into the first reason box alongside the main claim and delete the empty second box.
To work out what goes in the new claim box ask yourself: what key words appear in the existing reason (the main claim) and the position, but not in both? The hidden assumption (the co-premise) must connect those two ideas.
2. Check your work against the model.
