    @dimakyure869 Right, the book even emphasizes that the goal is to basically have the process become intuitive and not mechanical to the point of reciting the steps in one's head. I just started practicing the "drill" so I'll keep at it for a few more sections and hope for the best. Thank you for your input!

    This comes up from time to time because there aren't any "answers" beyond what the book gives you. Try it like the translation drills... eventually (once you exhaust the explanations in the book) you'll have to just take the time to review your understanding of the question and determine if it was adequate, and what can be improved. As far as the specific "drill", the main point is that you are able to recognize the types of stimulus and what to do for each one... the drill is kind of like a heuristic to facilitate that process—if you see this, then do this. It works, but I think the end goal is not be like, "I see a claim that is supported, so conclusion... this is an argument, so I need a loophole," but to be able to recognize what kind of stimulus you are in, actively read, and come up with strategies on the fly.
