Can someone please answer this question from a previous thread. I have the same question (couldn't posted on the other thread my apologies) Hi I have difficulty in diagramming conditionals where Sufficient or Necessary condition is itself composed of a conditional sentence like this one (A). I read your explanation but wonder if it is wrong to diagram it this way: No self-motivated salesperson who are not highly successful: SM and not HSS ----> not WO WO -----> not SM or HSS Because (People who) is a conditional indicator and (No X is Y) is also another conditional indicator so the Suf. condition is in itself a conditional sentence. I find diagramming this double conditional sentences so challenging. Please explain more why is my understanding wrong.

@Meredith,

That's exactly how I would diagram that sentence! They're a bit tricky, so take them step by step. Luckily, they're rare as well. Would definitely look at other answer choices if one of them is trying to make you diagram something like that. Hope this helps!
