Hi mseggio,

This is a really normal stage! Think about where you have made progress. You were able to go through the stimulus, and recognize where there was a problem. Those are great steps along the path. What you are noticing is a feature of flaw in the reasoning questions that frequently trips people up: they are abstract by nature. So instead of dealing with the nitty gritty facts in the stimulus, you are trying to find an abstract way to describe the flaw.

Your correct answer choice must correctly describe what occurs in the stimulus. This is a prove family question, so only one of the answer choices will accurately describe the flaw. Here's where you can increase your score--once you get to a part in an answer choice where it doesn't describe the stimulus, you can eliminate it. Instead of searching for the correct answer, look for problems in the incorrect answers. The one you are left with should (hopefully) describe the flaw in the stimulus.

Hope that helps!
