Compound Condition? Yes or No?
How is it that for the second principle you do not write the S condition as Mail Correctly Addressed & Not Arrive in 2 Days or Less? How did you know to combine and make one condition? If feel with the practice problems from S&N and these for Quantifiers it is not clear or consistent as to when you need or don't need a compound condition.

Happy to help. You could technically diagram that second sentence as a having a compound sufficient condition f you wanted to. It's like diagramming all red dogs are nice as
Red dogs - >nice
vs.
Dogs + red - >nice
These basically mean the same thing. It can be helpful to make multiple sufficient conditions when you have two or more large clauses in the sufficient condition. When you just have adjectives or short phrases that are modifying one thing (as is the case with correctly addressed mail that takes longer than two days), it's generally easiest to write that as a single sufficient condition.
CA 2+ - >Damaged
You could also write this as
CA and 2+ - >Damaged
Regardless of which way you choose to write it, you will arrive at the same correct answer choice because those statements are essentially telling us the same thing.
Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!
