Howdy. When I look on the back end, I see these possible correct answers for that question:

- M --> N
- N --> M

Maybe that was a bug -- if so, apologies!

Hi!

As for any conditional statement, there are two possible accurate diagrams: the original and the contrapositive.

For the given statement "M will be picked unless N is picked," we get:
-N --> M
-M --> N

Either of these answers could be correct.

N --> M could not be correct.

Did you see the correct answer listed as N --> M, like the original poster?
