Closing a Circuit: Which Switches Turn On Light?

[physicsguy101]

Homework Statement

Which combination(s) would allow the circuit below to turn on the light?

S1 = A and S2 = B
S1 = B and S2 = A
S1 = B and S2 = B
S1 = A and S2 = A

The Attempt at a Solution

I'm thinking that it would be true for the third and fourth ones when S1 and S2 are the same, so the current can flow through both switches. Otherwise, the circuit wouldn't be closed, no?
