How to break down the question: "In Winifred's response to Henry..."
I could've easily gotten this question correct, but I ultimately thought about the question too deeply, I suppose. Since I read the phrase "In Winifred's response to Henry," I, for some reason, assumed that I had to connect what Winifred responded to what Henry stated instead of just finding the role of the statement in Winifreds argument alone- does that make sense? If so, how do I avoid making this mistake again?

That is EXACTLY what I did as well. I would also like to know how I can avoid this in the future.

Make sure that you take statements at face value on the LSAT. If it's asking about someone's statement, then focus just on that statement when making your evaluation of what type of role the phrase in question has in the person's argument.
It's always helpful to relate what what the second speaker is saying in relation to the first, but you also want to be sure that you are directly answer the question that's being asked, and not another, different type of question.
