Explanation:

Step1: Evaluate Nanda's house requirement

The rule requires gas appliances; the house has electric appliances, so it fails the requirement.

Step2: Evaluate Violet's dog requirement

The rule requires either a long tail, or (black spots AND not purebred). The given facts do not state if the dog has a long tail, so we cannot confirm if the requirement is met.

Step3: Evaluate Joshua's bush requirement

The rule requires (short AND lots of water) OR big leaves. The bush is short but needs little water (fails the first condition), and there is no information about big leaves, so we cannot confirm if the requirement is met.

Answer:

1. NO, doesn't meet the requirements
2. NEI, Not Enough Information to tell if requirement is met
3. NEI, Not Enough Information to tell if requirement is met
