Identifying General Principles, Premise, and Conclusions.

I have done the Main Point Questions, Argument Structure, and Sufficient & Necessary Questions but I am still struggling to be able to identify premise, general principles, and conclusions. Is there a way to practice doing that because at this point I feel I can't move forward.

Yes, I have the same problem. Breaking down the argument into various parts is a struggle for me. Can anyone explain a better way to do this.

I agree there is no way to learn how to identify the premise, general principle and conclusions just by doing these short introductions. I can only imagine my score this prep course must be for someone with real knowledge on how to break down arguments.

I hate that so many of us are having this issue. This prep course really does nothing to get you familiar with premises, conclusions, and subconclusions which is extremely problematic given that knowing these things about the word problem is necessary for getting the right answer. Sorry you're struggling, too. Hang in there.
