    This document provides guidance on weakening arguments for different issue types in source choice questions. It explains that to weaken an argument, one should undermine the conclusion by showing that an assumption does not necessarily hold, the scope of the conclusion is too broad, or an alternative explanation could also account for the evidence. It also notes that some questions may ask to weaken the reasoning itself rather than the conclusion.
