The material walks through common error patterns such as strengthening a flawed conclusion, negating premises, undermining inference targets, or misapplying the relevant part of an analogy. Each item pairs a correct choice with a “wrong answer” analysis to clarify why alternatives fail.","D  \nR  \nI  \nL  \nL  \nCLIR Drill Answer Key JUNE 2007, SECTION 2  \n1.
