Do I have this info from the stimulus diagrammed correctly?

Economy doing badly --> real estate slump & car sales low

no real estate slump or car sales not low ---> economy not doing badly

You reversed it.

It should be:

real estate slump & car sales low -> Economy doing badly

economy not doing badly -> no real estate slump or car sales not low, or both

What about the second part of the question; is the following diagram correct?

Real estate NOT slumping

OR ----> Economy is healthy

Car sales NOT lowest in years



The correct answer (d) is the reversal of this diagram, but I don't understand how the economy being healthy means that one of those two must NOT be slumping.
