Logical Reasoning Question types
I am having trouble in the flash card group distinguishing between Methods of Reasoning and
Argument Structure. About 30% of the time i will go with the wrong question type on these two. can you advise a rule that will help distinguish the difference?

Hi, the easiest distinction I could make would be to say that method of reasoning questions ask us how the whole argument is made, whereas argument structure questions ask us what role something plays in an argument. In practice, as long as you're able to understand if you're being asked to describe the argument as a whole or to describe the role that one part plays in an argument, you should be fine, I wouldn't worry too much about memorizing the difference in question stems.
