I am noticing a pattern where choices that refer to the majority ("most," "majority," etc.) are wrong, but not always.

Is this because those choices tend to overlook the minority, which can strengthen/stay neutral instead of weaken the argument?

Not sure if relevant...

For weaken questions, you just need to ask yourself if each choice weakens;
either it does weaken, instead strengthens, or brings absolutely nothing to the stimulus.

I recognize that. I was wondering if there is a pattern comparable to Assumption questions, where choices that have "most" or "majority" are usually irrelevant. For instance, some correct Assumption choices have the phrase "at least." I believe this is the case because you do not need "most" of whatever it is in the argument to make the point.

Well, if we're talking about assumptions, that's not entirely true.

For NA, "most" may seem extreme. However, for SA, "majority" or "all" can often lead to the right answer;
the same can be said for strengthen and weaken questions, as noticed from my recent drilling.
Conversely, "some" in the aforementioned does not tend to indicate strong strengtheners or weakeners.
