Hello I am going through the supplemental questions for Logical Reasoning and have a couple of questions.
For Question 28. The question stem states that Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
So the conclusion is "Therefore if the United States children are to do well in mathematics they must watch less television.
I understand that for assumption questions you turn them into weaken questions, SO do you not need to do the assumption negation technique? I though the conclusion contains a conditional? I thought answer choice C was the logical opposite of the conclusion.
However, the correct answer choice was E. Is this because it goes against the premise that South Korean children are competent in these areas? But how is this going toward the assumption of the argument?
Thankyou
Sarah
