Does anyone have any suggestions on how to better approach the Argument Part Questions? I feel like they are "freebies" yet giving me a hard time. #help
Hi - Argument Part questions are similar to Method of Reasoning except it targets a specific clause in the stimulus. The important thing to do is be able to analyze the argument by first finding the argument parts - premise(s) and conclusion. Sometimes the "conclusion" you find might be a sub-conclusion, etc. Make sure you can distinguish between context (information that author is simply reporting to you; most of the time the author goes against this) and argument (what the author wants you to believe and why).
