TC Math Strategy - Answer Confirmation


Hi, this question was a part of the HW but wasn’t discussed in the class. I’m wondering if I solved it correctly via the math strategy.

Idea 1: Cynics believe that people who ____ compliments do so [(-) x (+)] = (-)
Idea 2: to be praised twice (-)
Logic Word: In order to
Relation: Support (+)

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
