#help I keep ignoring very obvious signs and thus not answering correctly on these. I'm correctly identifying "because/for/since always indicates a premise," but getting confused when deciding on using"Hence" in the last sentence as our actual conclusion due to the fact that JY explained it's a trap 90% of the time, so I just avoid it as an answer and use the middle sentence where we see "but" as a rationale instead.

We're looking for an answer that is powerful, not just simply something that is provable. Sufficient Assumption question types are powerful, and they require us to look for the expression of that same degree/kind of (powerful) answer in the choices given.

SA (what our argument relies on) → [conclusion] → NA (what needs to be true if the argument is valid)

(C) is Correct. We are not in the business of challenging the truthfulness of the premises, but rather investigating their relationship to the conclusion. Answer Choice (C) is so powerful that, if true, would be a strong unstated premise that explains, without fail, why the psychologists should direct their efforts towards identifying nightmare-prone children. The authors assume that a loophole you find in their reasoning isn't a factor, and answer choice (C) is an airtight explanation (unstated premise) in support of the author's claim, rendering all other explanations irrelevant or choices that do not most strongly justify the reasoning.

Usual Wrong Answer Is Often A Trap?

I think I've started to notice a pattern in my wrong answer choices. The answer that I get wrong on LR is often the one most people choose when they get that answer wrong. So am I just falling for the top trap answer, or something more deeply concerning? Often the correct answer choice is a better articulation of the wrong answer that I find myself thinking "that's what I thought WrongAnswerChoice was saying," it just turns out that I fall into the trap.

How can I overcome this?
