Does anyone know of a good way to practice dissecting the different parts of an argument in a question stem? For example, J likes to highlight, circle, label P for premise & C for conclusion, call out context & referential phrases, key words like thus, therefore, etc. I feel like I need practice with this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you print out a bunch of questions and practice that by hand? Is that a helpful thing to do?

Thank you so much for this helpful feedback! I really appreciate it!

Hi! Can someone please explain to me this from the above explanation?

After the “although” sentence, the author talks only about “placentals”.
→ this means “placentals” is the “SCOPE” of the argument.
→ meaning, we DO NOT want to include it into our lawgic.
hi - thank you for your helpful comment here. What does AC mean? I struggle also with include ctx as part of what I need to translate. I wasted 15 min on this question just to see if I could piece it together and I never was able to on my own.
Thank you JY for your very first sentence response to this question. and oh my goodness, I needed that laugh! I definitely had that reaction and just simply gave up after taking more than 5 minutes of trying to wrap my mind around this question. Pat just showed up and ruined everything for me.
