Assumptions & Hidden Premises Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Hidden premises are the unstated “glue” that makes an argument seem to work. In this quiz, you’ll practice identifying what must be true for a claim to follow, and separating evidence from assumption.

Each question uses a 4-option multiple-choice format with no timer, so you can slow down and justify your pick instead of guessing.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many wrong answers sound reasonable but don’t actually bridge the gap between premises and conclusion. Watch for choices that restate a premise, introduce new information, or address a different conclusion than the one given.

How difficulty and length are balanced

Difficulty is mixed: you’ll see straightforward “missing link” items alongside trickier cases with subtle wording or competing assumptions. Choose your question count and difficulty before you start to tailor the session—short runs for quick drills, longer runs for deeper pattern practice.
