Self-study
I am kind of seeing principle questions
"The situation described above conforms most closely to which one of the following generalizations?"
fall into the line of most strongly supported questions
while PSA questions (find the rule/application)
"Which one of the following principles, if valid, would most help to justify the sociologist's argument?"
are ones where we have to find gaps, fill the gap, make sure it is delivered to the right outcome and right situation is being modeled. Am I correct in my line of thinking?

Hey there!
Principle questions fall into the rule/application bucket, so you're not only correct, but your thinking applies to both situations! "Most strongly supported" isn't inaccurate because you are looking to the stimulus for support, but your point about the gaps is the more apt description.
As you said, for either one, we're identifying the "inputs" (premises) and "outputs" (conclusion). Our AC will be the mechanism that can take those inputs to get to that output.
I hope that helps, and happy studying!
