Hey everyone,
I'm currently reading the Manhattan LR book. Earlier this I read the LR Bible. The concept of necessary and sufficient assumption is a little tricky for me. Are sufficient assumptions and justify questions the same thing? In the Bible they say adaption questions can be negated but I find that sufficient assumptions cannot, just like justify questions. Also, both sufficient and justify can add the answer plus extraneous information yet necessary questions can not.

Yes

This is true, a necessary assumption question can be negated to verify if the answer is correct - if the negated version undermines the conclusion then that A/C is most likely your answer. However this technique does not apply for sufficient assumption questions.

Thank you very much for the clarification!
