Answer choice A: "if and only if" construction?

Started by Brett-Lindsay · started 2020-07-05 06:58 · last activity 2020-07-07 15:09 · 3 replies

I'm just wondering if answer A has an implied "if and/but only if" construciton. "If the restaurant is full, the parking lot will be full, and if the parking lot is full, the restaurant is full" Diagrammed separately, it's RF --> PLF (not PLF --> not RF) PLF --> RF (not RF --> not PLF) It seems like we could diagram it as follows: RF <-----> PLF So far, I haven't seen "if and only if" in any questions, and it wasn't mentioned in the videos or in any of the threads.

    Hi @Brett-Lindsay, good instinct! Your diagram is correct and we could phrase this as the restaurant is full if and only if the parking lot is full. Hope this helps!
