Critical Reasoning

Hi, I was having some trouble with Assumption questions, so a little google led to this link, which discussed a strategy to handle assumption question.

The strategy is to treat assumption question as a weaken the argument question.

I tried it with a couple of questions that i got wrong and it worked. What do you guys think? Can someone explain the underlying logic why this strategy works...


The confusion is.. that

Premise + Assumption = Conclusion.

So an assumption should strengthen the premise and/or strengthen the conclusion. So it should be a strengthen the argument question .
