Does anyone have tips on how to attack these sort of questions?
Also, what category of questions does this particular type of question belong to? I'm trying to find it on the curriculum but I'm not sure where to look.
Thanks ahead of time!

These questions are great practice for anticipation practice. Which is also my biggest tip: read the stimulus and think hard before you go into the answer choices. Really try to figure it out before going to the answer choices. Slow down and anticipate. Spending more time in the stimulus is the key to success here.
I've been reading through the different approaches to this type of question and from what I've gathered people are approaching them in different ways:
-Identify the Conclusion
-Most Strongly Supported
-Must Be True
-Sufficient Assumption
I'm still not sure how to best approach them but @JustDoIt 's advice seems solid.
I would treat these complete the blank Q's as must be true/most strongly supported Q's. The idea is the same -- to push out an inference from the stimulus. The inference can be either a premise or conclusion, but either way, it must be supported by the text. There are problem sets with these Q types under the Miscellaneous Questions section of the CC.
A treat it like MBT question, I gather the facts and stick to it. I do not add extra facts out of the argument.
