Necessary Vs Sufficient Flashcards
Always
Necessary
Term associated with if (regardless of where it appears in the sentence)
Sufficient
No/no one
Put the negative term (ie no one was injured) on the necessary (right) side of the arrow

Any, all, every
Sufficient
If, and only if means the same thing as what statement?
