The text says that automatic modules 'require transitive' all other resolved modules. However, they 'require' all other modules, but 'require transitive' only the other automatic modules. This is explained at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/lang/module/package-summary.html in step 2.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Change "requires transitive all other resolved modules" to "requires transitive all other automatic modules".
