a. Show that if G is a simple graph with n vertices (where
n is a positive integer) and each vertex has degree greater than or
equal to (n−1)/2, then the diameter of G is 2 or less.

where each vertex has degree greater than or equal to (n−1)/2, is the
diameter of G necessarily 2 or less? Either prove that the answer to
this question is "yes" or give a counterexample.
