You return to the last location you were at within the program. The
instructions will either be on or off, depending on the input and output
states in your program.

2. Arrow back to bit I/6 on rung 0 of the program. As you do this, look at

the instruction state boxes and see which ones, if any, are filled.

Currently, I/6 is off. If I/6 is turned on, the instruction state box will be
filled. This will result in a path of logical continuity in the rung, causing
the output instruction state box to be filled as well.
