S&N Diagramming
Are there any tips for knowing which variables to diagram? Here I diagrammed as follows:
A --> C
C --> OA
AG --> CG
P: not CG
C: not AG
But this missed out the knowledge bit? Does it ever make sense to look at the answers to see if you're missing something in your original principles?

@Anna2020, you have a very similar diagram to what I'd use. Mine looks like this:
Action-->Consequences Consequences-->other actions Know actions good-->know consequences good
P: Can't know future (this means the same thing as can't know consequences good)
C: Good actions are impossible
The only reason you missed out on the knowledge bit was because you diagrammed the second sentence without it. If you look at my diagram, I included the knowledge bit in there to better keep track of it. That's the only suggestion I have for your diagram.
Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions. In general, if you've diagrammed things correctly, you don't need to go to the answers to see if you're missing something. If you're having trouble solving the problem, reframing how you're diagramming things from the stimulus.
