Here (i) weakens the statement whereas (ii) and (iii) support and strengthen the statement. But (iv) and (v) neither weaken nor strengthen the statement. In order to decide whether a statement strengthens(or weakens) an argument, follow these steps.
Step I: Break up the argument mentally. See what is the supporting premise, what is the assumption and what is the conclusion.
Step II: If a suggested statement supports any of the three it would be a strengthening statement. If it contradicts any of the three it would be a weakening statement. In order to decide which statement strengthens (or weakens) an argument the most, follow an additional step:
Step III: If a suggested statement supports (or weakens) the basic assumption of an argument, it would be the most strengthening (weakening) argument. Or If a suggested statement provides a very strong proof (or contradictory proof) in favour of (or in contradiction to) the conclusion of the argument, it would be the most strengthening (or weakening) statement.
