It's my first time explaining. Sorry if I make a mistake. This is how I thought of it.
First, let's look at each sentence and translate them into lawgic.
Unless a bookstore generates high sales volume, it cannot get bulk discounts from publishers.
We have both a group 3 or 4, but we have to choose one of them. I used unless since it made more sense grammatically to me.
I italicized the assigned symbols and now we need to apply the transition rules (negate, sufficient).
/volume → /discount
To generate high sales volume, a bookstore must carry popular books.
Here we have group 2 (necessary).
volume → popular
Okay, so we have these two translations.
In order to be able to chain it we need to get the contrapositive of the first translation. Which is:
discount → volume
Now we chain them together.
discount → volume → popular
discount → popular
In other words, "getting bulk discounts from publishers requires carrying popular books."
Hope that helps a little :D
