- Understanding the argument involves breaking it down into its conclusion and evidence, then identifying the gap that the assumption fills.
- The example used demonstrates how to sift through answer choices to find the one that directly links the evidence to the conclusion.
- The correct assumption connects certification by the Heating Technicians Association with qualification, dismissing other irrelevant or insufficient options.
