I voted for option 2 but I think it would be beneficial to add that you don't need to forgo all the P-Sets on your first go around. E.g., if you don't really "get" necessary assumptions then from the videos then maybe do a problem set or two of that. -

Is 7sage missing a question type in logical reasoning? Evaluate the Argument QuestionsIs 7sage missing a question type in logical reasoning? Evaluate the Argument Questions
I looked up how to solve these questions online—identify the argument and its necessary assumptions, then turn those N.A.'s into questions. This method should give you the right answer. -
Sufficient → Conclusion → NecessaryDoes this mean that the sufficient alone is enough for the conclusion to be drawn and once the conclusion can be drawn, the necessary is a must?
