Hi nik256

Acing CR requires you to master 2 skills – Comprehension and Analytical skills. You not only need to understand the meaning of each sentence well, but also need to understand how multiple sentences are linked and then only you can identify logical gaps.

You have to follow certain steps while solving CR questions.
● Read the argument
● Identify the premise and the conclusion
● Read the question stem
● Identify the missing link (Pre-think the assumption)
● Eliminate answer choices which are irrelevant or out of scope

Identifying the conclusion helps you understand the scope of the argument, which in turn helps you to eliminate answer choices which fall out of scope. And to develop the ability to pre-think, you need to understand the framework on which most CR questions are based. Once you identify the framework, there are certain guidelines using which you can come up with the missing link.

Hope this helps!
