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.
A flowchart-based GI question that exemplifies the significance of owning the dataset because if you do not understand the dataset properly, then there is a high likelihood of you getting confused because of the complex nature of the question statement.
As you watch this video solution, pause before you get to the question statement and ask yourself, “Was I able to paraphrase the flow chart with this level of clarity?”
Another interesting feature of this question - both the blanks are connected, i.e., you need to select the answers for the two blanks such that the sentence with these two blanks makes complete sense in the light of the dataset. In fact, here is another example of such interconnected blanks - The two charts show how female and male survey respondents.
Solve both kinds of questions and observe the difference in processing and realize how while “owning the dataset” is a MUST to solve GI questions, the questions with dependent blanks require much high level of processing than those with independent blanks. That being said, in order to get full credit for the question, you need to answer both blanks correctly!
See "each request" at the beginning of the statement that we must complete.
Since "each request" appears to mean "all requests," try "all" for the second dropdown.
Then, for the first dropdown, see which choice describes a situation that would result if "all of the requests in G included one or more items that were not currently stocked in the warehouse."
Looking at the flowchart, we see that when the answer to All items in edited order currently stocked in warehouse? is No, then items are added to the warehouse stocking list.
So, the logically completed statement is the following:
If each request in G resulted in items being added to the warehouse stocking list, then it must have been the case that all of the requests in G included one or more items that were not currently stocked in the warehouse.
@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.

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.
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.
