Argument questions give a claim, such as a policy that will reduce congestion or improve results, and ask which option most strengthens or weakens it. Assumption questions ask what the writer must take for granted for a notice or statement to make sense. Conclusion questions give facts and ask which statement must follow from them, without adding outside knowledge. Wrong options are often true in real life but not supported by the passage.
Cause and effect questions pair two events and ask whether one causes the other, whether both share a common cause, or whether they are independent. The skills tested here match the critical thinking items in the MDCAT Logical Reasoning section, the analytical part of GAT, and the verbal reasoning parts of CAT and bank PO exams. They also help in essay and interview stages, where weighing evidence matters.

An assumption is something the speaker takes for granted before making a statement, while a conclusion is something that follows from the statement. For example, asking patients to arrive early assumes registration takes time; it does not conclude that late patients will be refused.
Critical reasoning items appear in the MDCAT Logical Reasoning section, NTS GAT and other aptitude tests in Pakistan, CAT and IBPS PO and SBI PO in India, and the BCS mental ability paper in Bangladesh. The question styles are similar across these exams.
Find the assumption the argument depends on and pick the option that makes it doubtful. Common ways are offering a different cause for the result, showing that the evidence is not typical, or showing that the proposed plan would not work in practice.
