While attempting CR questions, I'm able to comfortably eliminate 3 out of 5 answer choice, most of the time (i'd say roughly 80-90%). However, almost every time, especially in the Hard questions, I'm having a great trouble choosing the right choice from the last 2 choices. i'd say almost 70% of the time, I choose the wrong answer.
Requesting help from this forum, as I'm sure atleast few of you would've come across such issues and solved them succesfully.
Thanks!

The infamous "last two choices" tends to be where the game of answering a verbal question begins since, in most cases, we can confidently eliminate the other three choices.
To do better at choosing between those last two choices, you have to develop awareness of whether your choice is truly supported. If you are choosing the wrong choice, there isn't truly logical support for your choice.
One way to do so is simply to spend more time per question. By taking your time, you give yourself more time to see what's going on in the question and learn.
I discuss some other things that you can use to successfully choose between the last two choices in this video.

Thanks for responding to my concern. I, however, don't see how spending more time per question as a possible way and so does the most logical support. Because, this is how it goes for me: I see a question-> I understand and eliminate choices -> I eliminate 3 of them -> Brain says, the answer I'm choosing is correct according the logic or the process that I've followed, whereas a voice almost echoes it's the other choice which is true and that voice wins almost all the battles.
Do you see any scope for improvement here? Please suggest.

So, you have to be aware that, if that voice can win the battle, then, at that point, you don't really know which choice is correct and need to spend more time on the question.
See what I'm saying?
If you are so unconfident in your choice that you can choose a different one, then you haven't really supported your choice or supported eliminating the other one. So, you need to spend more time on each question and learn how to better support your choices.
So, I think your move is to watch the video, and also you can read these two posts to develop a clearer understanding of how best to go about training for GMAT verbal.

In your process above, the problem is in the part that I highlighted, PV7. If you truly understand the argument, at the level that the GMAT requires you to understand the argument, then you'll eliminate four answer choices as soon as lay your eyes on them. When you debrief those questions in which you were only able to easily eliminate 3 answer choices, you should be asking yourself what extra thinking/reasoning should you have done PRIOR to reading the answer choices. Here's a short video in which I describe my process: https://youtu.be/ja_aseZp9E0
