  2. Subject

  3. Quantifier

  4. Constant


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In predicate logic, a predicate is a term that expresses a property or characteristic of an object.

What is the symbol used to represent the universal quantifier in predicate logic?

  1. ¬


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The symbol ∀ is used to represent the universal quantifier in predicate logic.

What is the symbol used to represent the existential quantifier in predicate logic?

  1. ¬


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The symbol ∃ is used to represent the existential quantifier in predicate logic.

What is the difference between a universal quantifier and an existential quantifier?

  1. A universal quantifier asserts that a property holds for all members of a set, while an existential quantifier asserts that a property holds for at least one member of a set.

  2. A universal quantifier asserts that a property holds for at least one member of a set, while an existential quantifier asserts that a property holds for all members of a set.

  3. A universal quantifier asserts that a property holds for some members of a set, while an existential quantifier asserts that a property holds for all members of a set.

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A universal quantifier asserts that a property holds for all members of a set, while an existential quantifier asserts that a property holds for at least one member of a set.

A subject is a term that refers to an object, while a predicate is a term that expresses a property or characteristic of an object.

What is the difference between a constant and a variable in predicate logic?

  1. A constant is a term that refers to a specific object, while a variable is a term that can refer to any object in a set.

A constant is a term that refers to a specific object, while a variable is a term that can refer to any object in a set.

What is the difference between a term and a formula in predicate logic?

  1. A term is a simple expression that refers to an object, while a formula is a complex expression that makes a statement about an object.

  2. A term is a complex expression that makes a statement about an object, while a formula is a simple expression that refers to an object.

  3. A term is a simple expression that refers to a set of objects, while a formula is a complex expression that makes a statement about a set of objects.

  4. A term is a complex expression that makes a statement about a set of objects, while a formula is a simple expression that refers to a set of objects.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A term is a simple expression that refers to an object, while a formula is a complex expression that makes a statement about an object.

What is the difference between a proposition and a predicate in predicate logic?

  1. A proposition is a statement that is either true or false, while a predicate is a term that expresses a property or characteristic of an object.

  2. A proposition is a term that expresses a property or characteristic of an object, while a predicate is a statement that is either true or false.

  3. A proposition is a statement that is either true or false, while a predicate is a term that refers to an object.

  4. A proposition is a term that refers to an object, while a predicate is a statement that is either true or false.


Correct Option: A

What is the difference between a deductive argument and an inductive argument?

  1. A deductive argument is an argument in which the conclusion follows logically from the premises, while an inductive argument is an argument in which the conclusion is supported by evidence.

  2. A deductive argument is an argument in which the conclusion is supported by evidence, while an inductive argument is an argument in which the conclusion follows logically from the premises.

  3. A deductive argument is an argument in which the conclusion is supported by evidence, while an inductive argument is an argument in which the conclusion is supported by a combination of evidence and logical reasoning.

  4. A deductive argument is an argument in which the conclusion follows logically from the premises, while an inductive argument is an argument in which the conclusion is supported by a combination of evidence and logical reasoning.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
