Dear VeritasKarishma
In Strengthening Question, when I negate an option and the negated version weakens the conclusion, will that option be considered a correct strengthener?
Thank you for all your replies

DonVito,
There isn't a lot of value in reading the same thing again and again. If you have understood the basics discussed, you should invest your time in practicing.
Practicing does not mean doing one question after another. Once you attempt a question, you need to analyse it properly irrespective of whether you got it right or wrong. Take a look at all the options thoroughly - think about which ones were confusing you, think about why they are wrong, think about why the correct one is the correct answer.
Spend some time and jot down takeaways. You will start seeing patterns and automatically start pre-thinking the answers. You will know what to expect and more often than not, you will find it in the options. When you pick the wrong option out of shortlisted two, understand why the wrong option is wrong. CR is not about degree of correctness - only one option will be correct.
Also, tag me in relevant questions if you need help in figuring out why a particular option is incorrect.

Not necessarily. The option could be neutral but negating it could weaken the conclusion. To look for a strengthener, negating does not help because strengtheners are not necessary for the conclusion to hold. Even if they don't hold, the conclusion could still hold. The only time we use negating is in assumption questions. That said, I prefer to look for a gap between premises and conclusion in assumption questions. Negating can get too tiresome so I use it in very few questions.
