Re question 3:
I've read elsewhere that in formal logic, when tranlating a necessary condition like (X&Y) to the contrapositive it becomes /(X or Y).
if ^C → B&U less
/(B or U) less → /(^C)
By the logic of this question, are the following valid?
If people are not buying less, costs have not increased.
If people are not using less, costs have not increased.
Or can it only be true that both must be present to conclude that costs have not increased?
Thanks for any help!

Using math helped me with this concept:
55% of almonds are consumed domestically
55% of almonds require intense irrigation
55+55 = 110.
Some (at least 10%) of almonds consumed domestically require intense irrigation
Found a typo under the "Let's Review"
When you attempt to negate a claim about a relationship, in this instance, a conditional relationship, you are trying deny that relationship. Same error is present in the same section of the previous lesson on "all" relationships.

"If we're being Lawgic nerds, technically it doesn't matter whether we follow the "no" rule (Group 4) or the "unless" rule (Group 3). (See if you can understand why this is when you have some more time.)"
Is it always the case that if any combination of indicator terms from both group 3 and 4 are used in a sentence with two ideas, one can choose to follow either translation rule?

Are any of following also necessary condition indicators?
• Ensures
• Implies
• Leads to
• Will
• Requires
• Necessitates
• Depends on
• Relies on
Another LSAT learning platform has these terms on their list.

Is "each" also a sufficient indicator?
Another LSAT learning service includes it in their list.

Is "requires" a conditional indicator?
