Could someone explain Argument part and also tell me where JY talks about it in the content?

From this point forward in the lessons:

Argument part questions ask us to understand various parts of the argument we are provided. Understanding how these parts relate to/support one another is really helpful here. The baseline of where I suggest someone starts with these questions is:
knowing premise/conclusion idicators
knowing when we are looking at other people's arguments/our author's argument

There is a helpful webinar on the topic that is absolutely worth a listen:

Essentially argument part questions ask you to step back from the information being given and asks you to focus more on the structure of the argument.

It will usually ask about a sentence from the argument and say, "okay, so what exactly is this sentence in context to the argument?"

Is it a premise? Is it a conclusion? Is it used to support other parts of the argument? Is it supporting other parts of the argument?

In this sense these questions really ask you to step back and see the structure. They also require you to be fairly good with identifying premises, and conclusions and even sub-conclusions within the argument.
