Answer 3

A tiger is a cat ... true or false?

false

Answer 7

so

is false because BOTH pieces need to be true for the whole thing to be true

Answer 8

so what you're doing is looking through each answer choice and seeing which answer choice is also false

Answer 9

that's what it means when you want to find something that has the same truth value

Answer 10

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

Answer 11

Wait jk, is it "A poodle is a cat, and a dog has four legs."?

Answer 12

I hate assertions like that...they always leave me wondering if the proposer is saying a 4-legged animal has at least 2 legs, or saying a 4-legged animal only has 2 legs. :-)

Answer 13

" An ostrich is a bird, or all birds can fly." is true because the first part is true (and that's all you need when you are dealing with an "or")

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

Answer 14

so yes, it's "A poodle is a cat, and a dog has four legs."

An ostrich is a bird = T
or all birds can fly = F
T OR F = T

3)
An ostrich is a bird = T
and a bird has two legs = T
T AND T = T

or a poodle has two eyes = T
T OR T = T
