I have been seriously struggling with weaken and strengthen questions compared to any other question type I have encountered thus far. Can anyone give me some advice on how to correctly answer these questions?

Somehow I am doing much better with these than with weaken questions like how does that even happen
This is literally the first 5/5 I've ever gotten on the drills I've done so far for the various question types! Finallyyy
I was doing so good in the SA section until I got to this drill and got a 2/5 :(
Got it wrong first try but in the blind review I saw my mistake and chose the right answer I'm taking that as a win lol
I'm actually so surprised I got this right considering it was more difficult than the previous SA questions, but I did go 1 minute over time lol
@MarcusTsang Thank you so much Marcus I really appreciate this! I will follow your advice :)
I've gotten all of these wrong so far in this section and I feel so defeated, can anyone who has been getting them right give me some advice on to how to correctly answer strengthen and weaken questions?
I was stuck between A and D and chose D but then chose A in BR and got it right. Strengthen questions are nott my strong suit
4/5 on my initial try but after doing BR I got a 5/5, I'm genuinely so happy because RRE questions have been kicking my ass lmao
Damn 3/5 on my first take and 4/5 on my BR. Question 1 and 2 somehow got me but honestly I feel like I wasn't truly taking my time.
@ElaineCabrera Same! I was shocked when I saw the level of difficulty too!!
I've noticed that I am stronger in answering these questions and MC questions compared to MSS questions. Lol I need to go over MSS questions more
3/5 initially but after doing blind review I got a 4/5. Question 2 got me lol
I've surprisingly been getting these questions correct, which makes me feel confident, but I really have to work on my time. Most of the time I go 40 seconds to 2 minutes over depending on the question.
I got a 7/13 just like the last RC drill we had, and I feel like every time I am between two answers I will choose the wrong one and I don't know how to fix this. Watching the explanation videos for the questions I get wrong really help but the best score I've gotten on these RC drills has been a 9/13 and I'm not sure how to deepen my understanding of the RC passages.
