The stimulus is the passage/paragraph that (usually) precedes the question.

So in the following:

____________________________________________________________

1. All men are mortal. Therefore Socrates is mortal.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the preceding argument depends?
____________________________________________________________

"All men are mortal. Therefore Socrates is mortal" is the stimulus.

"Which of the following is an assumption on which the preceding argument depends?" is the question stem.

Hope this helps!
