Element pl-order-blocks: DAG grading for proofs

This question illustrates the grading-method="dag" mode of pl-order-blocks, which is especially useful for constructing mathematical proofs.

Prove that $A \land B \land C \rightarrow A \land C$

This example uses the attribute grading-method="dag" to accept any valid topological ordering. The depends attribute on each block specifies which other blocks must appear before it.

Correct answer

Correct answer (there may be other correct orders):

Assume $A \land B \land C$.
Then $A$ is true.
Then $C$ is true.
Since $A$ and $C$, we know $A \land C$
