In Critical Reasoning you will come across a number of strengthening type questions, covered under the head called ‘Strengthening Arguments’. The way to tackle these questions is fairly easy. From the options provided to you, you simply need to choose the one which lends maximum support to the main proposition being made in the argument. Keep in mind that the option should be relevant to the proposition. This means that the option should be reasonably connectable to the proposition and not too remote. In this type of questions you are like a builder. Your job is to work towards adding to the foundation of the truth as presented in the argument. In this respect be clear that the truth of the argument is provided in the data of the argument itself and is not dependent on your commonsensical understanding.
