what I do for these questions is put like a bracket next to what each sentence is. ctx for context, P for premise, SC for sub conc, and MC for main conc. this helps me a ton, and if you have trouble with identifying these things, go back and do the fundamentals because identifying support and conclusions is critical for all LR arguments.
Exposure and repetition usually reap benefits. I think AP and Method questions, although rare, are some of the most important because they test you on the fundamentals of arguments. If you understand each "part" of an argument and how it functions, then it becomes easier strengthen it, weaken it, etc.
Aside from JY's lessons on these, I've found that I always nail these if I let the answer choices do the work. I approach them much like I would a main point question and instead of looking for just the main conclusion, you're just looking for the specific sentence they are asking about.
Also, I think it helped that I learned many of the other LR question types before moving on the AP questions.
