Can you diagram "is" and "because"?

I was wondering that in relation to PT 56, Section 2, Question 16.
Any tips highly appreciated.

I'm not sure what is being asked, but in the question stem, the "because" is indicating that a sufficient condition is being indicated.

To notate it:

Encouraging people to exploit personal relationships for profit --> Risks damaging those relationships --> Offering incentives is an unethical business practice.

Not sure if that answers your question, I can clarify further if it will help.

To add to the previous post, "is" functions basically as the arrow in a conditional statement.

"John is tall" means the same thing as "if you are John, then you are tall. Or to put it directly into logical notation, "J is T" means "J->T."
