What are the Rules for no ?

in the answer choices, specifically B through E, I wrote out my formulas incorrectly. It seems that my errors have to do with the word no or none. When it comes time to cancel out either the Sufficient or the necessary, I cancel out the sufficient part of my sentence once I see words like no or none. In these specific examples I was suppose to cancel the necessary, is there a rule that tells u when to cancel the suff/neces??? Ex b. “since no abstract painting will be included in next week art section, nothing to be included in next weeks art auction is a painting in the Huang collection.” - I canceled out the sufficient for both sentences. C. “Since no none of the paintings in the huang collection is by roue, it stands to reason that no painting by roue is a superb work of art” - I canceled hc in first sentence and canceled r for rowe. What are the rules for no and none at the beginning of Sufficient?

Hello @grimadeau,

"No" introduces the sufficient condition. The remainder of the phrase is negated and becomes the necessary condition.

For example: No mammals are cannibalistic.
M ---> not C

B. "No abstract painting will be included in next week's art auction..."
AP ---> not IAA

The process is exactly the same for "none of," which introduces the sufficient condition.

For example: None of my cousins are lawyers.
C ---> not L

C. "None of the paintings in the Huang Collection is by Roue..."
PHC ---> not R
