Challenge Prompt

This is the example prompt structure. Write your own variation below.

Argument: "Remote work increases productivity because employees save commute time and work in comfortable environments. Therefore, our company should move to fully remote."

Task: Identify the ONE most important hidden assumption — the premise that the argument requires to be true, but never states. Structure: (1) state the hidden assumption in one sentence, (2) explain why the argument needs it, (3) give one real-world example where this assumption fails. Do not identify multiple assumptions.

Hints (3)

1The key hidden assumption: that commute time saved converts to productive work time (not leisure).
2"Do not identify multiple assumptions" forces the most important one — this is the hardest skill.
3The failure example should be concrete and real-world, not hypothetical.
