Mixed Critical Reasoning
Each passage presents a short argument — some evidence leading to a conclusion. The task changes from question to question, so read the stem first. The coloured tag on each question tells you which of three jobs you have: find the assumption the argument depends on, strengthen it, or weaken it.
How to work: always pin down the conclusion first. For an Assumption question, find the unstated premise the conclusion needs — use the negation test: negate a choice, and if the argument falls apart, that choice was necessary. For a Strengthen question, pick the choice that makes the conclusion more likely (often by ruling out an alternative explanation). For a Weaken question, pick the choice that most undermines it (often by raising one). Answer all ten, then press Submit for your score and full explanations.
