Unless

I'm still unclear on why I am to negate sufficient when I come across unless, or should it just introduce the necessary condition?

"K cannot be selected for honor roll, unless H is selected to honor roll."

would I take H selected and move it to the sufficient and negate it?

/H ---->/K or contrapositive K----->H

or would it simply be

K----->H right from the start and have the "unless" introduce the necessary?

Please Help!!!

    Pick either H or K and make it the sufficient. It doesn't matter which one because which ever you pick and negate, the other will become the contrapositive.

    Let's Pick H.

    H is now sufficient.

    Negate it (/H)

    Put the other term in the necessary (/K)

    /H -> /K

    Now lets pick K.

    K is now sufficient

    Negate it (//K = K)

    Put the other term in the necessary (H)

    K -> H.

    Hope this helps!
