Self-study
It seems to me that this question type in particular does not have much of a pattern as opposed to the classic flaws, which imo are easier to identify given their patterns.
For those who have no issues with the LF questions, how are you finding the patterns?
What are you looking for in the stimulus particularly given that every stim is kinda diff?
Thanks in advance!

one thing i like to do when the answers are "takes for granted" or "fails to consider" ones is treating them like a necessary assumption or weakening question. if the answer is a takes for granted statement, treating it like a necessary assumption answer is helpful because if that assumption is negated and the argument falls apart, that answer has to be correct because the argument is assuming that. if the answer is a fails to consider statement, that statement if correct would weaken the argument so you can thus just treat it like a weaken question answer. hope this helps!
@Shaanw123 interesting, so for the most part you are just negating answers?
@Shaanw123 def treat it like a weaken answer (AE or hurt plaus) but negating for sure is a new one for me
@gonewiththewind kind of yeah, its useful to do this approach for establishing the descriptive accuracy condition of takes for granted/incorrectly assumed answers, because if that statement is a necessary assumption for the argument to hold up (despite the fact that this cant actually be assumed), then we know that answer is descriptively accurate and therefore correct.
