break up confusing answer choices by separating conclusion descriptors from premise descriptors

Remember three rules:

1. Sufficient satisfied, necessary must be as well. (Conditional argument)

2. Necessary failed, sufficient must be as well. (Contrapositive argument)

3. Merge together the same symbol to create a chain. (Chaining conditionals)

Remember three traps:

1. Sufficient failed yields no information about the necessary.

2. Necessary satisfied yields no information about the sufficient.

3. Do not confuse sufficiency for necessity.

Group 1 (sufficient): if, when, where, all, the only, every, any

Group 2 (necessary): only, only if, only when, only where, always, must

Group 3 (negate, sufficient): or, unless, until, without

Group 4 (negate, necessary): no, none, not both, never, cannot

If helpful, kick ideas up into the domain, transform embedded conditionals into conditionals with conjunctive sufficient conditions, and use the Rule + Exception framework.
