@devinkramer Thanks for your question.
I found that being aware of common question stems for each category was helpful in distinguishing between the two. Here is a list that you may benefit from familiarizing yourself with.
Strengthen with Necessary Premise: - The argument depends on assuming which of the following? - Which is an assumption the argument requires in order for the conclusion to be properly drawn? - The argument assumes which of the following?
Strengthen with Sufficient Premise: - The conclusion is properly drawn if the argument assumes which of the following? - The conclusion follows logically if which is assumed? - Which of the following, if true, enables the conclusion to be properly drawn?
Does this help? Let us know if you have additional questions!
