#4 - Only if the electorate is moral and intelligent will

[dandelionsroar]

Hi, I have a question about the diagram of E? I think I am tripped up by 'at the same time' The answer choice seems to be describing a situation where the necessary condition occured but sufficient didn't of the stimulus so that is how I was interpreting it. Since sufficient didn't happen the rule falls away but now I am not sure, could you help me with understanding how at the same time is handled in terms of diagraming?

Thank you:)

Start by referencing the diagram in the first post in this thread, dandelions. Answer E is saying that it can never be the case that the Necessary condition occurs and the Sufficient does not occur, but of course that isn't true, because the Necessary condition is ALWAYS free to occur, even when the Sufficient does not. "At the same time" just means "both situations occur."
