Thanks for the question! You’re mixing up your necessary and sufficient clauses here. Remember, the third rule tells us that “L performs third ONLY IF N performs fifth.” X only if Y gets diagrammed
X —> Y
In other words, “only if” introduces the necessary, unlike “if,” which introduces the sufficient. So it should be diagrammed
L third —> N fifth
Which means that if N goes fifth, it doesn’t have to be true that L goes third. That’s a mistaken reversal.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have. Hi @raheimer@liberty.edu,

I'm still confused can you elaborate more about the only if vs if

N is on 5th, the rule says that ONLY if N goes in 5th, then L goes 3rd. So, you guys told us to follow the rules per logical game, now you are providing us a answer that CONTRADICTS the lessons. So I don't understand this. I know you won't answer, because you never do.
