Hi again, I realized I was vague in my previous question.
For question 1:
WMBC-- some -- PC
PC ----> P
not P ----> not PC
P ----> I
not I ----> not P
Rule 1: I understand this rule applies as there is a S&N scenario
Rule 2: I DO NOT understand how PC is the common sufficient condition
WMBC -- some -- PC ( I thought this was the NEC)
Please help me to understand how PC in this format is the Sufficient condition.
Thank you very much
AC

When we use the terms "sufficient" and "necessary," we are referring to a variable's role in the S->N statement, not in the quantifier statement.
WMBC - some - PC PC -> P
Here, PC is sufficient and P is necessary in our S->N statement. The variable that this S->N statement has in common with our quantifier is PC, which is the sufficient condition in the S->N statement. This is important because when we are combining an S->N statement with a quantifier statement, we want to make sure that the variable that is sufficient in the S->N statement is the variable that overlaps so that the arrow points away from the quantifier.
WMBC - some - PC -> P WMBC - some - P
Does that make sense? Please let us know if you have any other questions!
