Improving Code Debugging with Prompts

A developer asks a language model to find a bug in a complex function. The prompt is simply: 'Find the bug in this code: [code snippet]'. The model provides a single incorrect line of code as a fix without any explanation. What specific phrase or sentence could the developer add to their prompt to increase the likelihood of receiving a correct and well-reasoned answer? Provide one concrete example of such an instruction.
