Hints:
- Identify the top level reason and objection. It helps to look for key words - for example, the word 'chocolate' is in the position, and it appears in only two other claims. Those claims belong at the level immediately under the position.
- Key words can also help us work out which claims belong to which branches: look for the key word 'cocoa' in one branch, and 'sugar' in the other
2. Check your work against the model.
