Hi @kenken,

Thanks for the question! Yup, exactly, that’s how you’d diagram that statement! Good job. If N’s selected, you know that L had to have been selected, and if L isn’t selected, then N isn’t selected either.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.

Oh, this question was duplicated--strange, the response above was for another one of your questions. Here's the response for this one again if you need it:

Thanks for the question! No, if it’s an either or statement (like Either A or B must be chosen), that means that either A or B or both are chosen. At least one of the two has to be chosen; there’s not a scenario where both variables are out in an either/or statement.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
