Which one of the following is an assumption that would make the conclusion in the passage a logical one?

Are there key words?
When presented with these question types. Are there keywords that help answer the question? I've learned to look for the obvious, however, words like assumption (conclusion right?), questions to strengthen the premise, or the necessary?

To some extent, yes. For example, you will want to know the premise/conclusion indicator words because if you misidentify the argument parts, you will likely struggle to solve the question. You also want to be aware of conditional logic indicators as they play an important role in this question type.
To learn all of the tips and tricks for this question type, I recommend watching the lesson on strengthen with sufficient premise (in the strengthen module) and supplementing with office hours.

Hi Jacob,
I listen to the strengthen with sufficient. I have been attempting to attend office hours, however, the time that most occur is around 6 am or 7 am here in Hawaii. Regardless, will make a greater effort so I can join the office hours. I do want to thank you for your explanation and guidance.

Hi @lamont, the office hours are recorded in case you want to watch recordings. It's not quite the same as you're not able to engage and ask question in the chat, but the recordings are still a great resource! You can also filter but tags and types of questions discussed.
