Test-replicative time conditions for prep tests, varied/lax time conditions for drills.
An overarching theme for all LR question types I have noticed is that parallel structure between stimulus and correct answer is KEY.
The shape of a marine animal's fin does NOT affect.... which would render the supporting premise of the main conclusion irrelevant.
For many of the questions I get right, I skip the stimulus explanation and focus solely on the answer explanations just to reinforce why they are each right/wrong. However, if I have no doubt whatsoever as to why I got something correct I skip it. My understanding is that the core curriculum is a starting point of learning how to analyze certain types of questions properly. Drilling and practice exams will be where we see the most growth/improvement in our scores. I could be wrong though, these are just my assumptions.
I would think of this as ignoring irrelvant information/modifiers rather than making an assumption. Unless it is specifically stated that someone/something doesn't meet a condition (i.e living in a 7 unit building while referencing a 10 unit law) there is no reason to fixate on the unecessary modifier (10 units).
Context is crucial to understanding the argument, but not a part of the argument itself. Context can "agree" with the conclusion in the way that it is relevant in understanding a situation, but not adding any validity to the conclusion.
Modifiers not found in stimulus = incorrect answer choice.
