Daily Drills 40 - Section 40 - Question 2

Life can exist only where there is water.

opposites

I figured the problem was LE-W but when I choose how the problem is laid out I always get it wrong. Your answers be the opposite of what the rule is saying. So when is it opposite and when is it not?

Hey there,

Happy to help with this question.

The stimulus says, "Life can exist only where there is water."

The word "only" introduces the necessary condition, so we know that
"water" is in the necessary condition. This means that "Life can
exist" will be in the sufficient condition.

"Life can exist" = LE
"water" = W

LE - >W

To gain familiarity with conditional logic, I recommend reviewing the
video lessons on this, as they go over which words introduce
sufficient and necessary conditions.

Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!
