I don't think so. With most strongly supported, the AC is supported by the stimulus. Strengthen questions support the stimulus to make the stimulus more likely to be true.
In one of prior explanations, they say strengthening/weakening questions are similar to MSS except the answer choices are said to be true, and thus we focus more on each true answer choice affects the supportive relationship between the premise and conclusion.
Last paragraph, first sentence, typo. If these were Weaken questions, we'd expect the correct answers to provide alternative hypotheses for or explanations of the phenomena
