A movie studio invited a representative audience to a preliminary screening of a movie. At the end of the movie the members of the audience were asked to answer a survey comparing the ending of the movie with two alternative endings. For simplicity let us denote the ending the audience saw by A, and the two alternative endings by B and C. Suppose that a member of the audience provided the following answers.Is A at least as good as B? YESIs A at least as good as C? YESIs B at least as good as A? YESIs B at least as good as C? NOIs C at least as good as A? YESIs C at least as good as B? NORepresent the answers as arrows between the alternatives. Draw an arrow for each YES answer from the alternative that is at least as good to the other alternative. Which of the following drawings do you obtain?
