Hi vaibhav.iit2002

I agree, analyze the argument is the most difficult type of CR question. This is the approach I follow:

1. Diagram the passage, identifying what the highlighted portion in question is: evidence or conclusion.
2. Compare these two statements to each other and the conclusion itself to identify the solution.


Do you have any examples that you're having trouble with in particular?

Thanks.
I am using following strategy and am improving -

I identify premises, conclusion.
Then relates the bold sentences with the conclusion and find whether they are supporting or going against the conclusion.
Then look for options and use POE.
Will post a problem if any particular.
