Missing Premise
A video on the missing premise drill would make life easier. I was fortunate enough to find the video on YouTube with some explanation. If a tutor could give an example regarding a set of 3 premises where one is missing would be appreciated.

Exactly! Instead I had to figure it out myself after being frustrated and feeling like a complete idiot. Same thing with "does not exist". I don't see anywhere in this lesson that teaches about that but the drills have at least half asking about it. I try to figure it out through the answer but I can't. I shouldn't have to learn by failing on questions I haven't been taught about.

I am struggling with the missing premise, also. It took me a week to understand the missing conclusions and contrapositive, but I got it down. The missing premise portion I just cannot drill in my head. I am glad I'm not the only one. If you find a resource please let me know. TIA

What we are looking do to in these is to make the conclusion valid. That is, the conclusion will have some statement which is unsupported by the logic of the premise(s). Our job is to find a statement that allows us to say that "becuase premise is true, therefore conclusion is true"
That said, these are meant to mirror sufficient assumption questions. If you find that you're doing well on that question type, no need to worry about the drills.
