Veteran Employees as not Recent University Graduates

Is it wrong to deduce that veteran Employees be diagrammed as Recent University Graduates? I know it isnt relevant, but I want to understand this due to the fact that I am kind of weak with trying to keep it at same variables. Thank You!

@ankita96, happy to help!

It would be incorrect to diagram "veteran employees" as being equal to "recent university graduates."

Rather, veteran employees are NOT recent university graduates. This means: VE -> NOT RUG.

So, to keep the terms standardized, we can diagram the term "veteran employees" as "NOT RUG" or "not recent grad." However, we also recommend putting the term "veterans" in parentheses next to this so that your logic is clear in case it is relevant to an answer choice.

Does that make sense? Please let us know if you have any other questions and best of luck with your continued studies!

Sorry,
That was my mistake in typing. I meant to ask if we can diagram veteran employees as "not recent graduates".

When one encounters "only some" statements, as it is in this question, does one treat it as S+N or Quantifier? Thanks in advance for the help?
