Answer 1

for an AND to be true, both propositions must be true
for an OR to be true, only one needs to be true, although both may be

if still confused, rewrite the assertions using symbols:
W = today is sunny
X = Tom is going swimming
Y = Ann drives a blue car
Z = Tom has no car

W and X = TRUE Y or Z = TRUE

Answer 2

Answer 3

W & X are both true
Y may be true, or Z may be true, or they both may be true, but at least one is true

so which of the following is true?

remember, both have to be true for an AND to be true
at least one of them has to be true for an OR to be true
