A Must Be True (MBT) question asks you to identify a statement that is guaranteed to be true based on the information provided in the argument or passage. You need to select the answer that must logically follow from the facts, premises, or details given in the stimulus.
Key Point: The correct answer must be supported by the premises in the stimulus. There cannot be any assumptions or guesses; it should be something that is always true based on what’s given.
To 7Sage Administrators: I just wanted to point out a spelling error in one of the answers of the questions above, #34 listed the answer as Main Point/Concusion when it should be Main Point/Conclusion. I know it's just a spelling mistake but I just wanted to bring this to your attention. #help
I must remember that for stems like #2, "Which one of the following is an assumption made by the argument?", the word "is" means to find the NECESSARY ASSUMPTION.
Can someone explain to me more thoroughly why #33 is a Weaken question? I know it has "counter" in it, however I got swayed away from a Weaken school of thought when I saw "logically" in it. I guessed that is was a Pseudo question, as I don't think I've seen "logically" in a Weaken question.
#22, isn't this a SA question stem? I am getting SA and MBT confused...

I made a quizlet of some of the question stems: https://quizlet.com/_6tjq9l
Can someone help me to understand the difference between Sufficient Assumption and Must be True questions? #help

The argument's conclusion follows logically from its premises if which one of the following is assumed?- S.A.

I plan on doing all of these LR question stem quizzes over and over again. They are so helpful for reinforcement.
What is the difference between MBT and MSS? I keep getting the two mixed up.
Can somebody please explain to me the difference between MBT and NA questions? I'm a bit confused in that they both MBT so whats the difference?
Are these question stem quizzes representative of the frequency of each question stem type on actual tests?
Could someone explain the difference between 24 and 32? I'm having trouble understanding why ones strengthen and ones PSA
#22, isn't this a SA question stem? I am getting SA and MBT confused...
