Hi there,

Can someone clarify what questions allow you to get rid of answers that bring in new information?

As of now, I only know that must be true answers will not bring in new information. Are there other types of questions from the family #1: prove section that do not allow you to bring in new information?

Anything in our "First Family" (the "Prove" family) of questions will be answered based solely on the information in the stimulus, jennavievejoa, and so answers that require new info must be wrong. The answer can MENTION something new, but cannot RELY on something new. Those question types include:

Must Be True/Most Strongly Supported
Flaw in the Reasoning
Method of Reasoning/Argument Part
Point at Issue/Point of Agreement
Parallel Reasoning/Parallel Flaw
