(a) Nomis enjoys muffins (x) and chai latte (y) if they are consumed together.

(b) Tra likes chocolate (x), but he hates broccoli (y).

(c) Aras likes steaks (x), but she doesn't care one way or the other about apples (y).

(d) Fernand always buys five Polo-shirts (x) with every pair of jeans (y).
