Question

Read the statement shown below.

“A tiger is a cat, and a cat has two legs.”

Which statement has the same truth value as the above statement?

A poodle is a cat, and a dog has four legs.

An ostrich is a bird, or all birds can fly.

An ostrich is a bird, and a bird has two legs.

A poodle is a dog, or a poodle has two eyes.

Answer 1

I'm almost positive it's A

Answer 2

To have the same truth values, both the statement and it's converse need to be true.

A poodle is a cat, and a dog has four legs.
A dog has four legs, and a poodle is a cat.

Write the same for each of the options and see if they're as "true" as the original statement.

This question is rather cryptic.

@Hero

Answer 11

A poodle is a dog, or a poodle has two eyes. Then it for sure has to be this one!!!!

Answer 12

@e.cociuba would you mind explaining why?

Answer 13

lol, there's only one correct answer, and it's obvious.

Answer 14

Because you said it not c "It's not C because this is a question I got wrong...." tht wat u said, so c's excluded. Its not "A poodle is a cat, and a dog has four legs", cuz a poodle is not a cat! And its not "An ostrich is a bird, or all birds can fly" cuz a ostrich is a large African bird which runs fast but cannot fly (Its a bird that cant fly), so tht leaves u with d!! Its the true one.

Answer 15

No, @e.cociuba, you didn't read the question properly.

Answer 16

@Sunshine447, A is the correct answer because A has the same truth value as the original statement.
