Sufficient and Necessary Drills
I am struggling and need help with some of the sufficient and necessary missing premise drills & argument completion drills.
Where can I ask questions and get help on understanding how to walk through a few of these?

Also, what is the difference between these two drills? Most of the questions are the same?

To elaborate this question further - I have since noticed that the drills for S&N are the same when I access them on my computer but are different when I access them via a phone for some reason.
I am having more success with the missing premise drills, but am unable to complete any of the argument completion drills. Though I know the concept is similar, I cannot seem to make the leap between the knowledge from the S&N lecture/questions/etc. and these drills - and have been unable to find any threads with explanations to a question going over a problem with one of these. Any help would be much appreciated!

@hales,
Feel free to ask questions on this message board, and one of us will be happy to go over the problem with you.
The difference between missing premise and argument completion drills is that the scope of the drills is different. With missing premise drills, you're filling in a premise. With argument completion drills, you're looking to complete the argument, and maybe you're adding a conclusion or a premise. In other words, argument completion drills generally can encompass more than missing premise drills.
Regarding the difference between the questions on your computer vs. on your phone, I would contact our support staff by tapping "support" from the left menu or by calling 855.483.7862 ext. 2 Monday-Friday 9am-6pm PT.

I also do not understand these. I can't figure out how you're finding the missing premise. Further clarification would be helpful. It is difficult to know based on how the questions are laid out.
Also, I have also noticed that the missing premise and argument completion drills are the same?

@aborg, have you had a chance to read my reply to @hales? If you have and you still have questions, feel free to let us know. In particular, having questions on specific examples would be really helpful, and we can take a look at them.

@Ravi, thanks for the help I appreciate it. On the argument completion questions I still am having trouble identifying how to solve them correctly/what approach to take in doing so.
