Can I think of NA questions as must be true/mss?

Chris Nguyen

Hey!

I wouldn't think of them as MSS, but the way I do NA questions is sort of thinking of them like MBT questions. If you think about it, what is required for the argument to valid must in fact be true if you accept the argument as true.

My process for NA questions goes like this:
1) Read and understand the argument
2) Accept the whole argument as true
3) Go through the answer choices and ask yourself: What must be true?

It's a little different from MBT questions bc with MBT questions you're teasing out an inference from the stimulus. With NA questions the answers will be more subtle and have to do with an assumption being made between the premises and the conclusion.

Hope this helps!
