Draw the conclusion that follows necessarily from the stated premises rather than one that is merely plausible
Complete a text that ends in a blank by identifying the logical relationship (cause, contrast, consequence, condition) the final sentence sets up
Use the argumentative moves of a text (a problem introduced, a study described, a limitation noted) to predict what the missing conclusion must say
Test a candidate inference against every sentence of the text so that no detail contradicts it
Eliminate choices that are too strong, introduce new information, or reverse the direction of the argument
