Which of the following is a propositional connective?

  1. And

  2. Or

  3. Not

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

Propositional connectives are logical operators that connect propositions to form compound propositions.

What is the truth value of the proposition "P and Q" when P is true and Q is false?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Indeterminate

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The truth value of a conjunction is true only when both conjuncts are true.

What is the truth value of the proposition "P or Q" when P is false and Q is true?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Indeterminate

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The truth value of a disjunction is true when at least one disjunct is true.

What is the truth value of the proposition "not P" when P is true?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Indeterminate

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The truth value of a negation is the opposite of the truth value of the negated proposition.

Which of the following is an example of a conditional proposition?

  1. If it is raining, then the ground is wet.

  2. Either it is raining or the ground is wet.

  3. It is raining and the ground is wet.

  4. It is not raining.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

A conditional proposition is a proposition that has the form "if P, then Q", where P is the antecedent and Q is the consequent.

What is the truth value of the conditional proposition "If P, then Q" when P is true and Q is false?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Indeterminate

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The truth value of a conditional proposition is true when the antecedent is false or the consequent is true. In this case, the antecedent is true and the consequent is false, so the truth value of the proposition is false.

What is the truth value of the biconditional proposition "P if and only if Q" when P is true and Q is true?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Indeterminate

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The truth value of a biconditional proposition is true when the antecedent and the consequent have the same truth value.

Which of the following is an example of a tautology?

  1. P or not P

  2. P and not P

  3. If P, then P

  4. If P, then not P

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

A tautology is a proposition that is always true, regardless of the truth values of its component propositions.

Which of the following is an example of a contradiction?

  1. P or not P

  2. P and not P

  3. If P, then P

  4. If P, then not P

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

A contradiction is a proposition that is always false, regardless of the truth values of its component propositions.

What is the law of detachment?

  1. If P, then Q. Therefore, Q.

  2. If P, then Q. Therefore, not P.

  3. If P, then Q. Therefore, not Q.

  4. If P, then Q. Therefore, P.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The law of detachment is a rule of inference that allows us to conclude Q from P and the conditional proposition "If P, then Q".

What is the law of syllogism?

  1. If P, then Q. If Q, then R. Therefore, P, then R.

  2. If P, then Q. If Q, then R. Therefore, Q, then R.

  3. If P, then Q. If Q, then R. Therefore, R, then P.

  4. If P, then Q. If Q, then R. Therefore, P, then Q.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The law of syllogism is a rule of inference that allows us to conclude P then R from P then Q and Q then R.

What is the fallacy of affirming the consequent?

  1. If P, then Q. Q. Therefore, P.

  2. If P, then Q. Not P. Therefore, not Q.

  3. If P, then Q. Not Q. Therefore, P.

  4. If P, then Q. P. Therefore, Q.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The fallacy of affirming the consequent is the logical fallacy of concluding P from Q and the conditional proposition "If P, then Q".

What is the fallacy of denying the antecedent?

  1. If P, then Q. Not P. Therefore, not Q.

  2. If P, then Q. Q. Therefore, P.

  3. If P, then Q. Not Q. Therefore, P.

  4. If P, then Q. P. Therefore, Q.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The fallacy of denying the antecedent is the logical fallacy of concluding P from not Q and the conditional proposition "If P, then Q".

What is the method of truth tables?

  1. A method for determining the truth value of a compound proposition based on the truth values of its component propositions.

  2. A method for determining the validity of an argument based on the truth values of its premises and conclusion.

  3. A method for constructing a proof for a proposition.

  4. A method for finding the truth value of a proposition based on its logical form.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The method of truth tables is a method for determining the truth value of a compound proposition based on the truth values of its component propositions.

What is the principle of explosion?

  1. If a proposition is false, then any proposition can be derived from it.

  2. If a proposition is true, then any proposition can be derived from it.

  3. If a proposition is true, then its negation can be derived from it.

  4. If a proposition is false, then its negation can be derived from it.

Show answer
Correct Option:
Explanation:

The principle of explosion is the logical principle that if a proposition is false, then any proposition can be derived from it.
