Q-Type Identification - Conceptual

AC's will prove the assumption to be true thereby proving the conclusion to be true

Assumption Sufficient (SUF)

AC's will provide info that is "needed" for the assumption to be true

Assumption Necessary (NEC)

AC's will make the assumption more likely to be true

Strengthen (STN)

AC's will make the assumption less likely to be true

Weaken (WKN)

AC's will describe the assumption in a negative way

Flaw (FL)

AC's will as a question that addresses the assumption

Evaluate (EVAL)

Will have a correct AC that contains an argument that displays the same assumption as the argument in question

Parallel Flaw (LLF)

AC's will state the assumption of the argument in language that is slightly broader or stronger than the perfect assumption

Reasoning Conforms (RCON)

AC's will provide a statement that "almost has to be true" according to the info given and "Generally Accepted Reality

Inference (INF)

AC's will provide a statement that both speakers addressed directly or indirectly in such a way that you infer that they disagree with one another about that statement

Point At Issue (PAI)

AC's will build on info given in the argument and key words close to the blank to be filled in

Guided Inference (GI)

AC's simply state THE conclusion of the argument

Main Point (MP)

AC's describe WHAT the argument is doing, usually in very vague terms

Method of Argument (METH)

AC's describe how one particular part of the argument fits into the argument as a whole

Function (FUN)

AC's will have an entire argument that parallels the logical (not necessarily physical) argumentative structure of the main argument above

Parallel Reasoning (LL)

AC's will explain or resolve the situation in the argument that seems contradictory

Paradox (DOX)

AC's will take the general principle that was states or illustrated in the argument above and apple that principle to a new, specific situation

Principle Above (PA)

AC's will state a general principle or just an idea that applies to the situation described in the argument above

Situation Conforms (SCON)

AC's will prove the assumption to be true thereby proving the conclusion to be true

Assumption Sufficient (SUF)
