Agree / Disagree - VEDARION

STEP 1

Spot the Question Stem

Two speakers, and the stem asks what they agree or disagree on. Look for:

"...disagree about whether..."
"the point at issue between them is..."
"...committed to disagreeing about..."
Agree variant: "...most likely to agree that..."

STEP 2

Read Speaker 1's Argument

Analyze as you read
Identify premise and conclusion

STEP 3
Test Answers Through Speaker 1's Lens

                        Ask: agree or disagree?
Use MSS-style reasoning
If out of scope, eliminate
Record agree / disagree for each

                    

STEP 4

Read Speaker 2's Argument

Only if more than one choice remains
Identify premise and conclusion

STEP 5

Decide From the Leftover Answers

Only revisit the answers you marked agree or disagree in Step 3
Skip the ones eliminated as out of scope
Record agree / disagree for each leftover answer
Pick the appropriate one
