Which type of question asks you to select an option that strengthens an author's argument?

The option that asks you to select an option that strengthens an author's argument is the one labeled as "Strengthen/support." This type of question is specifically designed to assess your ability to identify additional information or evidence that would make the author's argument more compelling or persuasive.

In these questions, you are typically presented with a conclusion or claim and asked to choose a statement that enhances the validity or support of that conclusion. This involves analyzing how well each choice relates to the main argument in question and selecting the one that provides the most effective support—whether through additional evidence, a factual detail, or clarification that reinforces the argument being made.

The other options represent different types of logical reasoning questions. For example, "Justify the conclusion" involves finding information that proves the conclusion is true given the premises. "Resolve the paradox" focuses on resolving an apparent contradiction within the information presented. "Method of reasoning" typically asks you to identify how the argument is structured or the reasoning process used by the author. Each of these types serves a unique purpose that differs from the aim of strengthening an argument.
