Evaluating Arguments

Critical Reasoning questions challenge your ability to assess and build logical arguments. You’ll analyze short texts, spot assumptions, evaluate evidence, and identify flaws.

Key Skills

• Recognizing conclusions and premises
• Identifying assumptions
• Strengthening or weakening arguments
• Detecting logical fallacies

How to Succeed

Break down each argument into its core pieces: what is being claimed, what is supporting it, and what might be missing or questionable. Ask yourself what would make the argument stronger or weaker.

Real-World Connection

These skills help in business meetings, negotiations, and decision-making, where you must quickly assess the strength of proposals and plans.
