@Sajjad1994 ­Thanks for posting this, just a head's up, it looks like the image above is cut off a bit at the top. It doesn't affect the answer, but the starting point mentioned in the passage, "Edit terms of standing order", is not shown, which could be a bit confusing.

A certain wholesaler supplies goods on a regular schedule to various retailers. A retailer can choose to receive the same numbers and types of goods on a regular basis without having to submit a new order for each delivery using what is called a standing order. The flowchart represents all of the steps in the process for evaluating and accepting or rejecting a request to edit a standing order with the wholesaler. The process begins with "Edit terms of standing order."

Suppose that G is a group of requests evaluated using the process described in the information provided. Select from the drop-down menus the options to complete the statement so that it most accurately reflects the information provided.

If each request in G , then it must have been the case that of the requests in G included one or more items that were not currently stocked in the warehouse.

If each request in G ___, then it must have been the case that ___ of the requests in G included one or more items that were not currently stocked in the warehouse.

If we choose approved by Accounting or Management in first blank, nothing is necessary (must have been the case) regarding whether items were stocked in the warehouse or not. They all may have been, none of them may have been, some of them might have been etc.
Hence first blank must be "resulted in items being added".
Now think: If all orders resulted in items beign added, it means all orders had missing items.
Hence select "all" in second blank.

ANSWER: "resulted in items being added", "all"


An intuitive approach for those well on their way in their preparation:

When we have "If A then B," A is a subset of B. So A should appear lower in the flowchart compared with B since it could be a fraction of B.

B - requests in G included one or more items that were not currently stocked in the warehouse.
This appears almost at the bottom. So A must be even lower - resulted in items being added.

Check to see that it makes sense.

Mainly because it involves a flowchart and most test takers are not adept at handling those till later stages of their prep. We find sequential data easier to deal with.
