Drawing simple graphs from the degree of three vertices I've just been introduced to graph theory in my discrete math class and I would like to see if my work and understanding of the topic is correct. Since there are many different terms and terminology in graph theory, the terminology that we agreed upon in class is that vertices are nodes and that an edge is an arc. Now then, on to the problem 
Problem:
Draw a simple graph with three vertices A, B, and C such that
A) deg(A) = deg(B) = 1
B) deg(A) = deg(B) = deg(C) = 1
Graphs:
Part A: In part A, both A and B have a degree of 1, thus both are connected to each other while C has a degree of zero. The graph could look something like this:

Part B: This where I'm stuck. My answer would be that it is impossible to draw a simple graph with three vertices, each with one degree, because as soon as you, say for example, connect A to B, then either A or B is going to have to connect to C and vice of versa. Thus making either A or B degree of 2 which is not what the question was asking.

You can not do it. The sum of the degrees need to be an even number! Can you prove this?
