One key move for getting Strengthen questions correct is identifying the conclusions of the arguments exactly.
For instance, let's say that the conclusion is the following:
To get the question correct, we have to be careful to work with that exact conclusion, not a conclusion that's vaguely similar such as:

For instance, let's say that the conclusion is the following:
- If we build this bridge, the town will take in more revenue this year than last year.
To get the question correct, we have to be careful to work with that exact conclusion, not a conclusion that's vaguely similar such as:
- Building this bridge will be good for the town.
After the bridge is built, the town will have more money.

Always start by identifying and isolating the premises and the conclusion. This step is crucial as it lays the foundation for your analysis.
Focus predominantly on the conclusion. Success in these questions often hinges on how well you can impact the conclusion with your answer choice. Remember, strengthen questions require you to bolster the argument in any way possible, and the effectiveness of the answer can vary significantly. Whether an answer choice enhances the argument slightly or substantially, if it makes the conclusion even marginally more likely, it's a valid choice.
