Argument or Fact Set by the 13 Question Types?

[WarnerHuntingtonIII]

Hello,

Could someone please tell me which of the 13 question types will only contain an argument, which will only contain a fact set, and which could contain either an argument or a fact set?

1) Must be true
2) Main Point
3) Point at Issue/Point of Agreement
4) Method of Reasoning
5) Flaw in the Reasoning
6) Parallel Reasoning
7) Assumption
8) Justify the Conclusion
9) Strengthen/Support
10) Resolve the Paradox
11) Weaken
12) Cannot Be True
13) Evaluate the Argument

I'm sure it's in the LR book, but I can't locate that passage.

Best,
Warner

Unfortunately, it rarely works in absolutes like "always," and there is a way for the test makers to evade or adjust every one of these to include or not include a conclusion (examples include putting the conclusion in the question stem or making the question a FITB). So the better way to think of this is with "usually" or "almost." In that sense, types like Must, Cannot , and Resolve "usually" are just fact sets (but not always). The rest are almost always arguments.

Thanks!

Good to know that extreme modifiers are built into the design of the test as well as questionable answer choices. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
