1\two tiered approach*1.ideal approach----1)diagram the argument
2)predict the answer to the question
try to make a flow diagram of the argument 1) statements in the boxed
(2) arrows to present th elogical flow of the passage
(3) sometimes, transition words( but,etc)between these boxes
e.g.:

*2.back up: classification of the statements
1)decide whether each bold face is a fact or a claim
2)sometimes statements can be either---the qualifiers indicates a claim(clearly,certainly, must be, probably)
3)look at the indicator words in the answer choices that restrict those choices to facts or claims
facts: evidence; circumstance; finding; data; obervation; information; fact
claims: judgment; conclusion*(if they ask you to draw a conclusion,then your conclusion is a fact proving fron the existing facts); position; stance; prediction; hypothesis; belief
either: considerations; explanation; justification; support
2\try a question
In countries where automobile insurance includes compensation for whiplash injuries sustained in automobile accidents, reports of having suffered such injuries are twice as frequent as they are in countries where whiplash is not covered(fact).Some commentators have argued, correctly, that since there is presently no objective test for whiplash, spurious reports of whiplash injuries cannot be readily identified. These commentators are, however, wrong to draw the further conclusion that in the countries with the higher rates of reported whiplash injuries, half of the reported cases are spurious: clearly, in countries where automobile insurance does not include compensation for whiplash, people often have little incentive to report whiplash injuries that they actually have suffered.(claim) In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
- A) The first is a claim that the argument disputes; the second is a conclusion that has been based on that claim.
B) The first is a claim that has been used to support a conclusion that the argument accepts; the second is that conclusion.
C) The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion for which the argument provides further evidence; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
D) The first is a finding whose implications are at issue in the argument; the second is a claim presented in order to argue against deriving certain implications from that finding.
E) The first is a finding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument; the second is evidence presented to establish that the finding is accurate.
