 Now the more important question, is there a shorter path in that graph? The answer is no, there's no shorter path than the one with length $2$. So what can we do about it? We'll add an edge to have a shorter path. Now we have gotten a lower bound of $2$, which means the only shorter path we can construct has $1$ edge and that is ‹$e, h$› (no intermediary vertices).
