Flaw Questions- Proper approach

by Dotson525 Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:47 am

Last night I attended a class. Found their approach to Inference and Most strongly supported questions excellent! Was wondering what approach/steps should be made when answering flaw questions?

Thanks

Flaw questions are just assumption questions in fancy pajamas, so follow a similar process. Find the conclusion, identify the evidence, anticipate logical gaps with particular emphasis on common flawed reasoning patterns. When doing process of elimination, notice how choices are often re-phrased assumptions, and watch out for common patterns in the choices.
