Explanation:

Step1: Evaluate Millie's movie rule

Check first condition: Movie is a comedy, so $\text{not a comedy} = \text{False}$.
Check second condition: Movie is short ($\text{True}$) AND in English ($\text{True}$), so $\text{True} \land \text{True} = \text{True}$.
Overall rule: $\text{False} \lor \text{True} = \text{True}$

Step2: Evaluate Simon's shrub rule

Check first condition: Shrub has small leaves, so $\text{big leaves} = \text{False}$.
Check second condition: Shrub has bright flowers ($\text{True}$) OR needs little water ($\text{True}$), so $\text{True} \lor \text{True} = \text{True}$.
Overall rule: $\text{False} \land \text{True} = \text{False}$

Answer:

1. YES, does meet the requirements
2. NO, doesn't meet the requirements
