Let M_n be a graph defined as follows: begin by taking n graphs with non-overlapping sets of vertices, where each of the n graphs is (n - 1)-edge connected (they could be disjoint copies of K_n, for example). These will be subgraphs of M_n. Then pick n vertices, one from each subgraph, and add enough edges between pairs of picked vertices that the subgraph of the n picked vertices is also (n - 1)-edge connected. (b) Draw a picture of M_4. (c) Explain why M_n is (n - 1)-edge connected
