Causual reasoning is an universal fallacy. We really cannot determine the important ones. It all depends on the stimulus and the way the author has structured it. It is always better to be on the look out for all the pointers and pick them up from the options. This way, no matter how the author twis...

When you identify that it is a cause and effect model, u need to keep an eye for 5 things (not just 2 things) Strengthening case: 1. No alternate cause.[only one cause leads to ...

A B C D these 4 letters represent the digits. D can take up 5 values (1,3,5,7,9) To fit the palindrome the first and last digit should be the same. so A can take up only 1 value (the value selected in D) B can take up 10 values (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and thus C can take up 1 value, the value selected...

nope..you are not getting the first level of assumption. In CR every passage can involve layers of assumption but we need to find the assumption that links the premise to the conclusion.
