Can someone tell me the difference between Weaken Questions and Stregthen Questions, and how to find the answer.

Weaken Questions: The correct answer choice weakens the argument (the support between the premise and the conclusion).

You shouldn't ever have to touch the premises or conclusions in weak/strengthen question types. You will be supplementing the existing argument with additional information.

Have you finished the Core Curriculum, @jimmyrivera201 ? If you have finished it, I think you should review lessons I posted above.

Good luck
