A variant of most strongly supported and pseudo-sufficient assumption (find the rule) questions, principle questions ask us to identify a statement that underlies or coheres with the argument presented in the stimulus. Learn to effectively differentiate between irrelevant or contradictory options and the close matches this question subtype demands!
