I was beating myself up for confusing the sufficient and necessary in the first sentence.
The word "must" triggers the necessary.
This example helped me understand:
To enter the bar, you MUST be 21.
o If you are inside the bar--> you are 21
x If you are 21--> you are in the bar
Tiger: Not all liquids are safe for consumption. After all, wiper fluid is very toxic and can cause serious damage to your health if consumed.
Disney: Billionaires can access the US Capital. Billionaires who have funded the Republican Party can have direct say in Congress. All other billionaires have to suck Trump's toes. Elon Musk is a billionaire and can access the US Capital. Elon has direct say in Congress. Elon Musk has never funded the republican party. Elon Musk must have sucked Trump's toes.
Detective: There are people screaming, "shots fired" and hiding in the airport. The cartel leader who was in possession of cocaine is lying on the floor with a bullet wound to the chest. A soldier is standing 10 feet away from the body with a gun in his holster and white powder on his face. My hypothesis is that the soldier killed the leader in order to feed his crippling drug addiction.
For Question #3, I translated it like this:
/bonded pair --> (other 4+--> /available for adoption)
or
/bonded pair and other 4+--> /available for adoption
since Mittens and Nittens are NOT a bonded pair, thus fitting inside the exception above and "triggering" the sufficient condition; wouldn't the rule not apply for them?
I understand that Mittens and Mittens are not a bonded pair and they are "outside" the exception in the stimulus, "unless... part of a bonded pair of cats", but when translating it with the group 3 rule (negating and making it sufficient), then they fit the exception, no?
Can someone explain this please?
