I think you always want to be on the lookout to use the transitive property

Hi @Claire-Smith,

Thanks for the question! You can always use the transitive property whenever there’s conditional logic. Whether it’s a fact set or an argument, a strengthen or a weaken question, as long as you have two conditionals like

A—>B
B—>C

You can chain them to get A—>B—>C, and thus, A—>C.

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