For anyone finding this now...

With the upcoming support for ranges and indices C# 8 and .NET Core 3.0 you can simply write

var remStrings = queries[..^1]

This is short for

var remStrings = queries[0..^1]

This works by converting the 0 and 1 to indices (System.Index), with the ^ being the marker (actually an operator) to index from the end of a sequence. From these indices a range (System.Range) is then generates which can then be used to access the array. (See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/csharp-8#indices-and-ranges)

Currently this only works in the preview version of .NET Core 3.0
