Help on Flaw Qs

I need help on Flaw Qs, specifically navigating the answer choices.

I'm getting better at finding the flaws in the argument. I have a prephrase or a rough idea of what the flaw could be. I'm trying not to be overly attached to the prephrase either, but even then I am often running into trouble.

It's the answer choices that give me such a hard problem.

In my current approach, I equip myself with different tests I run:

  • Is it descriptively accurate?

  • Is it the flaw?

  • For takes for granted/assumes, MBT test

  • For Overlooks possibility/fails to consider, Weaken test.

But, the way the answer choice is worded really tricks me up. I also try do piecemeal analysis, but that doesn't really help me decipher the answer choices.

Does anyone have any suggestions or tricks they do when going through flaw questions?
