Hi There,
When you get the question wrong, and read the explanations by others, can you see what kind of an answer did you fall for? Was it a trap answer, or was it out of context?
Below is what helped me get better at CR:
1. Understanding the different question types and what they require us to do with an argument for e.g. Weaken Questions as us to find a premise, that would weaken the author's conclusion, etc.
2. Then I worked on how to break an argument down to its components i.e. The Premise and the Conclusion and understand the link, which is key.
3. Once you understand the link, eliminating bad answer choices gets easier.
My recommendation would be solve the questions, and even if you get them right, try and understand why the incorrect answer choices were eliminated.
Hope this helps. I'm sure one of the experts will be able to guide you a little more on how to improve further.
And don't fret, you'll get there soon

thanks a lot for the suggestions,
If I am solving it right, its taking a lot of time and I usually fall for the traps. I think much more practice would be needed, can you also suggest how to fasten up this process of getting the answer right.
