I am having some difficulty on strengthening questions that do not use causal reasoning. I am getting nearly all the weakening questions right because I am in the mindset of contradicting the assumptions made in the argument. However, for strengthening questions, should I look for an answer choice that strengthens the underlying assumption? Alternatively, will an answer choice that only states the assumption strengthen the argument?

Practically speaking, take note of any new words or concepts that appear in the premise or conclusion, which tend to indicate subtle scope shifts that can help you see the "gap" that needs to be strengthened.
