Thank you for your time and effort.

for point 7, I thought it was a justify the conclusion since it said " Provide most support to support the assertion", cant that also be viewed as " If applied to the argument will support the assertion" and so justify fits?

Point 3: Which one of the following, if all of them are ture, is LEAST helpful in establishing that the conclusion above is properly drawn" , why is is strengthen not justify?

The key to both of those examples, BMZ789, is that a justify question will either justify or not. There's no degree of justification. Justify questions ask you to find the answer choice that is "enough" or "sufficient" to prove the conclusion is valid. A statement either proves something or it doesn't. There's no middle ground. Any question asking you to find something less than a complete proof, by using words like "most" justifies, will be a strengthen question.

Hope that helps!
