For Logic games, either or is diagrammed as /A--->B, but what about for logical reasoning?
Leave of absence----> /quit
or /Leave of absence----> quit?

How am I supposed to do this question in my head?
I personally cannot do this question in my head; I think I would have to skip and go back to it in real life.
For that question even though they don't say "not both", you want a biconditional, as you cant take a leave of absence and also quit. So: Q ↔ /L
Thank you! I had to diagram this out unfortunately
Oh yeah, that's a tricky question. I diagrammed it as:
Quit job —> ~leave of absence
Leave of absence —> ~quit job
(~ indicating not)
It seemed to work. I'll just write out my solution in terms of formal logic.
Assuming that she was offered a fellowship, from the premises, we know that:
1.~allowed to take leave of absence —> camp finds out
and
2.quit job —> ~leave of absence
We need to connect that to the conclusion that:
quit job —> camp finds out
We can see that one element of each side of the conclusion exists in each premise. Let’s connect the premises with an assumption:
~leave of absence —> ~allowed to take leave of absence
This gives us:
quit job —> ~leave of absence —> ~allowed to take leave of absence —> camp finds out
Voila. D is the contrapositive of this solution.
However, I would recommend against using formal logic in this question. While it's good practice, it just makes everything so much more complicated.
