Sufficient Assumption

Guys, so for N.A we have the flip test for the answer to see if the assumption is necessary or not. Is there something like that for the Sufficient Assumption questions?

Thanks xx

Hi! So up until recently, I've been treating NA and SA the same, and the answer is no. We can't negate the SA answer choices to see if it works, because the conclusion has to follow logically from the premises. What's been helpful to me is spotting any new ideas/terms they introduce in a premise without clarifying. How does this idea or term tie back to the argument? What premise would close the gap?

Howdy, Stranger!
