Multiple OR

This is my code, I want to find out the number of fewer than 4 ratings an employee has given for specific questions. I would like to know where I'm going wrong.
 
DI JR = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(INPUT),
'INPUT'[Level] = "JR",
OR(
OR(
OR(
OUTPUT[Q1] < 4,
OUTPUT[Q5] < 4
),
OR(
OUTPUT[Q7] < 4,
OUTPUT[Q8] < 4
)
),
OUTPUT[Q11] < 4),
),
DISTINCTCOUNT(OUTPUT[Email Address]))
 
It gives an error saying "Argument '4' in CALCULATE function is required."
Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.

@pramita, instead of "OR", try "||" instead. Good luck.

@pramita 

Just like what @musicbydannyd suggested, OR can only add two conditions,e.g OR(OR(condition1,condition2),condition3.

However || can add more than 2 conditions, e.g. condition1 || condition2 || condition3 ||....||condition N.

DI JR = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS('INPUT'),filter('INPUT',
'INPUT'[Level] = "JR",
OR(
OR(
OR(
OUTPUT[Q1] < 4,
OUTPUT[Q5] < 4
),
OR(
OUTPUT[Q7] < 4,

Hi @pramita 

Try below:

DI JR =
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( INPUT ),
        VALUES ( 'INPUT'[Level] ) = "JR",
        FILTER (
            OUTPUT,
            OR (
                OR (
                    OR ( OUTPUT[Q1] < 4, OUTPUT[Q5] < 4 ),
                    OR ( OUTPUT[Q7] < 4, OUTPUT[Q8] < 4 )
                ),
                OUTPUT[Q11] < 4
            )
        )
    ),
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( OUTPUT[Email Address] )
)
