get the loophole

Im interested and available!

Hi! :) My first time posting on here. So excited I think I can answer your question.

A necessary assumption is not every assumption an argument makes but a specific type of assumption that when the conclusion is true, these assumptions have to be true, too. A necessary assumption is something that necessarily has to be true if the conclusion is true. You can think of it as a something that has to be true to support the conclusion of the argument.

For example:

Conclusion: Maddy can't wait to eat her delicious food tomorrow morning.

NA: Maddy will be able to eat tomorrow morning.

In my example, you can see that if the conclusion is true, the NA HAS to be true, too.

A question you can ask yourself to find the NA is: If the conclusion is true, must this NA also have to be true?

I hope this helps :)

You can do it!!!!! I believe in you– you're so smart!
