Thanks for reply..
can u please give examples in which correlation as a premise and Causation as a conclusion.. and how we are attacking them to weaken.

Regards,

Verbal review (blue OG) #7 has a good example of causation vs correlation. Off the top of my head, I'd give an example of what to look for:

Rich people eat caviar (correlation). Therefore I will eat caviar to become rich (causation). To weaken this example, I'd look for an answer choice that refers to an alternative cause (rich people can eat caviar, because they are rich).
