Hi @Lamont,

There are indeed a few useful keywords to distinguide strengthen with sufficient from strengthen with necessary premise questions. Strengthen with necessary questions almost always contain "required," "Necessary," "Depends," or "Relies," while strengthen with sufficient questions often used terms like "Follows logically if assumed" "Allows/enables to be properly drawn." There will be a few rare exceptions but the vast majority use some variation of those constructions.
