Hello VeritasKarishma .... thanks a bunch for starting this thread.
I have got this CR- problem from OG2019-Q662. I am yet not comfortable with the logic. Really appreciate ur help :
In the country of Marut, the Foreign Trade agency's records were reviewed in 1994 in light of information then newly available about neighboring Goro. The review revealed that in every year since 1963, the agency's projection of what Goro's gross national product (GNP) would be five years later was a serious underestimate. The review also revealed that in every year since 1963, the agency estimated Goro's GNP for the previous year—a Goro state secret—very accurately.
Of the following claims, which is most strongly supported by the statements given ?
(A) Goro's GNP fluctuated greatly between 1963 and 1994.
(B) Prior to 1995, Goro had not released data intended to mislead the agency in making its five-year projections.
(C) The amount by which the agency underestimated the GNP it projected for Goro tended to increase over time.
OA = (D) Even before the new information came to light, the agency had reason to think that at least some of the five-year projections it had made were inaccurate.
(E) The agency's five year projections of Goro's GNP had no impact on economic planning in Marut.
Thanks in appreciation

Hello VeritasKarishma
First of all, thank you for initiating this thread and for all your explanations, which are always super helpful, as they give us the best possible way to approach questions. Thank you!!
Regarding CR
If you can outline a method in which we can tackle different types of CR questions that would be useful to everyone. Just a 2 line brief description of a method which we can use to tackle a type of question in CR.
For example:
Assumptions - Once we read the argument and question stem. We need to Pre-think and negate the answer choices. This is the best possible go to method for Assumptions.
Could you please give us a few similar tips on other Question types such as Strengthen, Weaken, Inference, Complete the passage (Conclusion).
