A. P is true
B. T is true
C. All are true
D. Exactly one is false
Answer: Equivalence means all must have the same truth value. Having exactly 4 true is impossible.
A. All deep learning requires computation
B. Some deep learning may require computation
C. No deep learning requires computation
D. All computation is deep learning
Answer: All deep learning uses neural networks, which process data, which requires computation.
A. Space exploration drives innovation
B. Innovation boosts economies
C. Governments should fund space programs
D. Space exploration is expensive
Answer: The recommendation to fund space programs is the conclusion.
A. Statement 1 is true
B. Statement 2 is true
C. Statement 3 is true
D. Cannot determine
Answer: Since 1↔2 and 3↔4, either both true or both false in each pair. With exactly 3 true, one pair is fully true and the other has one true, but equivalence means both must be same. Contradiction. So this is impossible.
A. B and C
B. B, C, and D
C. B, C, D, and E
D. B only
Answer: A leads B and C directly. D reports to B, E reports to C.
A. AI can optimize resources
B. Optimization improves distribution
C. Poverty has political causes
D. Resource distribution matters
Answer: If poverty has political causes, AI optimization alone may not solve it.
A. All are false
B. B is true
C. C is true
D. Cannot determine
Answer: If A is false and they form a cycle, all must be false by modus tollens.
A. All vaccines reduce healthcare costs
B. Some vaccines may reduce healthcare costs
C. No vaccines reduce healthcare costs
D. All cost reduction comes from vaccines
Answer: All vaccines prevent disease, which improves health, which reduces healthcare costs.
A. Fusion produces minimal waste
B. Minimal waste means clean energy
C. Fusion is feasible
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: The VP (B) is second in command after the president.
A. Slippery slope
B. Ad hominem
C. Straw man
D. Circular reasoning
Answer: Assuming regulation leads to innovation stopping is a slippery slope.
A. Statement 1 is true
B. Statement 2 is true
C. Statement 3 is true
D. Cannot determine
Answer: If 1 is true, both 2 and 3 are true (3 true, contradiction). So 1 is false. Then 2 and 3 can be independently true or false. With exactly 2 true, both 2 and 3 must be true.
A. All startups will provide returns
B. Some startups may provide returns
C. No startups will provide returns
D. All returns come from startups
Answer: Some startups need funding from investors who expect returns, so some startups may provide returns.
A. Education reduces inequality
B. Inequality threatens democracy
C. We must invest in education
D. Democracy is valuable
Answer: The call to invest in education is the conclusion.
A. A is true
B. E is true
C. Contradiction
D. Two are false
Answer: Equivalence means all must have the same truth value. Having exactly 3 true is impossible.
A. R is true
B. R is false
C. R is unknown
D. Contradiction
Answer: P∧Q→R and both P and Q true means R must be true.
A. Drones can fly directly
B. Direct flight is faster
C. Speed revolutionizes delivery
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
