A. Father and daughter
B. Father-in-law and daughter-in-law
C. Brother and sister
D. Grandfather and grandmother
Answer: A is B\'s father, D is C\'s mother (B\'s wife), so A is D\'s father-in-law.
A. CRISPR can target genes
B. Genetic diseases have specific gene targets
C. Targeting genes cures diseases
D. All of the above
Answer: For the argument to hold, all these assumptions must be true.
A. Pairs 1-2 and 3-4 are true
B. Pairs 3-4 and 5-6 are true
C. Any two pairs are true
D. All pairs are true
Answer: Since exactly 4 are true and they form equivalence pairs, any two pairs must be true.
A. R is true
B. R is false
C. R is unknown
D. P or Q is false
Answer: P∧Q→R and both P and Q true means R must be true.
A. Neural networks process data
B. Weight adjustment reduces errors
C. Error reduction indicates learning
D. All of the above
Answer: For the argument to hold, all these assumptions must be true.
A. All are true
B. All are false
C. Contradiction
D. One is true
Answer: The cycle A→B→C→A means if any one is true, all are true. Exactly 2 true is impossible.
A. Parent
B. In-law
C. Sibling
D. Cousin
Answer: A is married to B, B is C\'s sibling, D is C\'s child, E is D\'s spouse. A is E\'s spouse\'s parent\'s sibling-in-law\'s spouse\'s... essentially in-law through marriage.
A. Slippery slope
B. Ad hominem
C. Straw man
D. Circular reasoning
Answer: Assuming regulation leads to the death of free speech is a slippery slope.
A. P is true
B. T is true
C. Contradiction
D. P and T are false
Answer: Equivalence means all must have the same truth value. Having exactly 3 true is impossible.
A. All engineers are web developers
B. Some engineers may know coding
C. No engineers know coding
D. All web developers are engineers
Answer: Some engineers are graduates, some graduates are programmers, and all programmers know coding, so some engineers may know coding.
A. Quantum computers can factor quickly
B. Factoring breaks current cryptography
C. Revolution means improvement
D. All of the above
Answer: For the argument to hold, all these assumptions must be true.
A. All are true
B. All are false
C. Alternating values
D. Cannot determine
Answer: If P is true and they form a cycle, all must be true by modus ponens.
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
Answer: C>A, A>B, B>D, C>D, so C is oldest.
A. Decentralization is valuable
B. Security is important
C. Current finance is centralized
D. Blockchain is slow
Answer: If blockchain is slow, it may not be practical for transforming finance despite being secure.
A. A is true
B. B is true
C. C is true
D. Contradiction
Answer: Equivalence means all must have the same truth value. Having exactly 1 true is impossible.
A. Q is true
B. Q is false
C. P is false
D. Both Q and R are true
Answer: P∧Q→R and R is false means P∧Q is false. Since P is true, Q must be false.
A. Quantum computing breaks encryption
B. Encryption protects finances
C. We must develop quantum-resistant encryption
D. Quantum computing is advancing
Answer: The recommendation to develop quantum-resistant encryption is the conclusion.
A. Statements 1-5 are true
B. Statements 3-7 are true
C. Cannot determine which 5
D. All statements are true
Answer: Without knowing which 5 are true, we cannot determine their positions in the chain.
A. A-B-C-D-E
B. A-C-B-D-E
C. A-B-D-C-E
D. A-D-B-C-E
Answer: A first, B between A and C, C between B and D, E last gives A-B-C-D-E.
A. CRISPR can edit genes
B. Sickle cell is caused by a mutation
C. Correcting mutations cures diseases
D. All of the above
Answer: For the argument to hold, all these assumptions must be true.
