You're looking for the "OR" operator - which is normally represented by a double pipe: ||

 if (b.equals("good") || b.equals("it was good")) {
        System.out.println("Thank goodness");
 }  else if (b.equals("bad") || b.equals("it was bad")) {
        System.out.println("Why was it bad?");
        String c = scanner3.nextLine();
        System.out.println("Don't worry, everything will be ok, ok?");
        String d= scanner10.nextLine();
 }
