Hey @Sharon, I'm here to help!

So IF mushrooms are added first then Lentils MUST be added last. This is a sufficient condition. However mushrooms being added first is not a necessary condition for lentils being last. Therefore it is possible for lentils to be last and mushrooms to be 2nd or 4th or in some other position!

However the second rule boils down to the fact that lentils can't be last if Zuchini is first. Therefore we need to find a way to make zucchini not first- and that's exactly what A does. In other words, zucchini being first is a sufficient condition for mushroom NOT being last, so we have to nix that!

I hope this helped! If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks,

Jordan
