Hello,
I am having particular trouble with Necessary Assumption questions. Even the "easier" ones become hard for me. I am particularly bad at anticipating an answer and once I jump into the answer choices, it becomes even more difficult. I understand the Negation Technique and it works for me sometimes, but other times I am left confused whether it weakens the conclusion at all. Unless I am able to see the assumption immediately, I tend to struggle and use valuable time on these questions and end up getting them wrong anyway. I have reviewed this chapter in the Bible multiple times and try to apply the defender/supporter techniques too. At this point, just seeing that the question is a Necessary Assumption, scares me off. I have done a TON of questions and I am not seeing improvement. Can anyone suggest how I can refine my strategy with these questions? I know they comprise a lot of questions on LR and assumptions are common flaws in other types of questions too, so I'd really appreciate any words of advice I can get.
Thank you!
