I was wondering what the main differences between most strongly supported questions and Weakening questions such as how to approach them?

Normal:

Strongly Supported:

  • The Stimulus does not have an argument, but rather premises

  • You have to find the conclusion of the argument in the answer choices

    • Weakening:

  • The Stimulus has an Argument (Premises/Conclusion)

  • You have to find the answer that weakens the support between the premises and conclusion in the answer choices

    • Causation and Phenomenon-Hypothesis:

    Strongly Supported:

  • The Stimulus has a phenomenon and hypothesis

  • You have to find the answer that blocks out alternative hypothesis

    • Weakening:

  • The Stimulus has a phenomenon and hypothesis

  • You have to find the answer that is competing or corroborating with the hypothesis

    • Please let me know if this is wrong and how I can improve my understanding.

    Thanks.
