Argument structure basics
Learn to separate premises, evidence, and conclusions.
Logical Reasoning starts with structure. If you can map an argument, you can answer almost any question about it. Your first job is to locate the conclusion and the evidence that supports it. Everything else is context or noise. High scores come from consistent structure reading, not from memorizing a list of question types.
- Conclusion is the claim, premises are the support
- Background is not evidence
- Most errors start with misreading structure
- Find the missing link between evidence and conclusion
- Paraphrase the conclusion before looking at answers
Think of a recent LR question you missed. Was the error in identifying the conclusion, the evidence, or the gap?
