Hello,
I have a general but may sound like a really stupid question (So please don't ridicule me). Are Critical Reasoning prompts usually flawed? I mean whenever I read an AWA prompt, I can find many things wrong with the author's assumptions and in AWA we will have to give arguments related to that prompt that tell what is wrong with it.
So is it fair to assume that all the prompts we see in CR have some flaws in them? Our main job would then be find the gaps and close them? Am I assuming this correctly?

Hi bfarooq,
CR prompts are always fairly 'thin' (in terms of their length AND in the information that they offer). As such, you might consider them to be 'flawed', or you might consider them to be 'missing something.' Regardless of how you view them, your task is always explicitly stated directly underneath the prompt: define an assumption behind the prompt, make the logic stronger/weaker, infer something from the information, etc. Pay careful attention to the details that offered and you should be able to 'link them' and get the logic behind the prompt. With that logic, you should be able to answer any question that is asked.

CR prompts are a bit different from the AWA prompts and whether they are flawed or not will depend on the question that is asked.
For the questions like, Assumptions, Strengthen, Weaken-yes the prompts are flawed and we need new information to make them correct.
For the questions like conclusion or bold face, this may not so.
Always try to get to the conclusion of the prompt and you will find it easy to solve the problem.
