The question was referring to line 7-10. However, I was thrown off by the sentence: they thrive because their hosts thrive.
I thought the logical diagram should be written as they thrive-->their hosts thrive, since I thought the word "because" always indicate premise. Therefore, their hosts thrive should be the premise and they thrive should be the conclusion.
In contrast, the correct logical diagram should be written as their hosts thrive-->they thrive.
Can someone tell me what's wrong with my reasoning?

Hosts thrive ---> they thrive
If the hosts thrive, then they thrive
The arrow can be seen as a "therefore."
