Questions

The document contains a quiz with multiple choice questions about logic, reasoning, and Tarski blocks worlds. It assesses understanding of concepts like logical consistency, validity of reasoning, and whether sets of sentences can be true together in a particular world. The questions test knowledge of implications that can be drawn about reasoning and sets of sentences based on whether they are consistent, premises are true, conclusions are true, etc.

-not consistent, sentences replaced by logical equivalent ones = new set not consistent
-false conclusion = at least some premises are false
-true premises, false conclusion c1 = invalid reasoning1
-valid, true premises = conclusion is true too
