Assumption questions are so hard for me.. could anyone give any advice? 🙏
Assumptions are basically the pillars of a building. Suppose you are watching a building that has three essential parts: a foundation, pillars, and a roof. Now consider the foundation as your premise and the roof as your conclusion. To hold the roof, you need pillars, and if you break or remove the pillars, the roof will fall.
The same concept holds true in critical reasoning.
Try to understand what the argument is trying to say for that consider yourself as author, understand every line, and how you are arriving at conclusion. While reaching at conclusion what is that part which you left for readers to find out but you as an author assumed it as must be true. Find out that logical link between premise and conclusion. If you will negate that link the conclusion will break.
So either you can prethink or evaluate every option considering every key elements and negating to check whether it is must be true or not for a conclusion.
Secondly to check your understanding use AI as your buddy....I have previously shared the link that tells you how to use AI effectively as your verbal companion
