Is context or background information necessary?

Hello guys please when solving an LR problem is it okay to ignore the context and read the argument only to be a little fast, since we just need premise and conclusion.
Thank you

I would say taking the context into account will give us an understanding of the structure in stimulus. Note indicators in the stimulus and where there is shift from context to the core argument: premise and conclusion.

I agree with Magnificent2021. Also, I think the context becomes slightly more important in the later exams. PT 86.1.15 is a prime example of this. For problems with little to no indicators you must develop your intuition by working through a lot of LR problems and analyzing structure. Think about which sentences offer support and which are supported.
