I'm a bit confused by the assumptions topic. If on the LSAT we are asked to make an assumption why would that tigers are mammals more reasonable? If it is true tigers are mammals wouldn’t that make the statement a fact? When in fact if we are asked to make assumptions wouldn’t the second one make more sense as it is an assumption we are being asked to make?
strongest: Disney Vacation Club, has several supporting claims and a conclusion
Middle: tiger, has a claim that supports the conclusion.
Weakest: Mr. Fat Cat, has claims but provides an assumption that is not supported. Blames the poor cat and fat shames it!!
Please provide feedback on my analogs:
Mr. Fat Cat: The leftover sushi box that I bought to eat later is empty and thrown in the trash. My sister is standing near the trash washing her hands in the sink, which she usually does in the kitchen after eating. She also has a stain on soy sauce on her shirt. I hypothesize that my sister is the guilty party, having intentionally eaten my leftover sushi when she got hungry.
Tiger: Not every driver with a license is a good driver. After all, some drivers are very fast and have road rage.

Can I get an explanation for Question 6.1?
Population growth increases the demand for housing. Construction companies capable of building new houses are relatively few, while individuals in need of housing are many.
I thought this was an argument. The conclusion is that"Population growth increases the demand for housing." The claim "Construction companies capable of building new houses are relatively few, while individuals in need of housing are many." clearly supports the conclusion that population growth increases the demand for housing because construction companies capable of building houses are relatively few, while individuals in need of housing are many??
Also, question Question 5.1?
He knows he did something wrong. The kid took a cookie from the forbidden jar without permission. He knows that doing what is not permitted without first seeking permission is wrong.
I put No, this is not an argument. Just simply stating claims which do not support each other.
Also, question 7.1?
It's almost certain that Alice will get the prize. The prize for the best science project will either go to Alice or Bob. I just found out that Bob didn't win.
I put not an argument doesn't indicate any support for the claim.
Please correct me for a better understanding of the question.
