So the following question type:

Which one of the following statements is most supported by the information above?

Is that an MSS question or a strengthen question?


And what about these two inference questions? What question type to they fit into?

1. Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the information above?

2. Which one of the following inferences conforms most closely to the philosopher's position?

    Its MSS.

    MSS: Argument supports answer choice
    Strengthen: Answer choice increases support for the argument (and does something the argument doesn't do)

    The first inference question is Must Be True. The second one looks like a principle question.

    thanks :) so strengthen questions will usually say strengthen in them?

    So here is the simplest way to think about the difference between strengthen and "must be truth" question types: when the question stem includes "the statements above, the information" it is a "must be true" and when it includes "the argument" it is a strengthening question. Reason? Because "must be true" questions always includes a set of facts in the stimulus whereas strengthen question include arguments.

    The first two you listed are must be true type. You know why? (I just told you why)

    The last one is a principle question.
