Which part of a 2-column proof is the hypothesis of the conjecture? GIVEN
Identify the conjecture to be proven.Assume the opposite of the conclusion is true.Use direct reasoning to show that the assumption leads to a contradiction.Conclude that the assumption is false and hence that the original conjecture must be true.
a conjecture is never used , although postulates , previously proven theorems and definitions are used. so the answer is CONJECTURE. btw r u referring to the birmingham university chapter 2 speedback assignment?
The corollaries types of statement is what is used to explain the steps of a proof.

Logically invalid statements.
Conjecture and Guess.
In a proof, statements that are purely opinion-based or subjective, such as personal beliefs or interpretations, cannot be used to justify steps. Additionally, unsupported assertions that lack logical reasoning or empirical evidence, as well as circular reasoning where the conclusion is included in one of the premises, are also invalid. Lastly, statements that are not universally accepted or established laws, such as conjectures that have not been proven, cannot justify proof steps.
