1. The question gives us a set of rules and asks us to check which statements are true and which are false.
2. Let's look at all of our options:
- Employee X submitted receipts exactly 30 days after submitting the electronic request for reimbursement. This statement can be true, since it follows all the rules, however, it isn't always true. This is because the only requirement is that "the receipts must be submitted within 30 days from the date that travel ended". So, this statement is neither.
- Employee X was reimbursed for a receipt dated before the date that travel began. Here is the following requirement: "To be reimbursed, the expenses must be incurred within the date(s) of travel and indicated on receipts dated during this time, and the receipts must be submitted within 30 days from the date that travel ended." So, this statement must be false.
- Employee X began travel on a different date than his or her travel ended. This can be true or false because "date(s) of travel" can mean 1 day or multiple. So, this statement is neither.
- Employee X submitted receipts exactly 35 days after the date that travel began. The only requirement is that "the receipts must be submitted within 30 days from the date that travel ended". If the traveling took more than 5 days, then it's false, otherwise it's true. So, this statement is neither.
- Employee X's electronic request for reimbursement was submitted before the reimbursed expenses were incurred. The electronic request must've been submitted before the date of travel, while the expenses must've been incurred during the date(s) of travel. So, this statement must be true.

I believe in a conditional question with chronology, drawing a timeline may help
