QUIZ 1.3.2
1) Suppose Set1 is a consistent set of sentences. Suppose some of the sentences in Set1 are
replaced by sentences which logically mean the same thing as the original or are logically
equivalent to the original.
So you know for sure that: The new set of sentences is a CONSISTENT set of sentences
2) Suppose Set1 is a set of sentences about a particular TARSKI blocks world. The world isn't
pictured. It could be any particular TARSKI blocks world. Suppose all the sentences in the set are
true in the TARSKI blocks world.
So you know for sure that: Set1 is logically CONSISTENT
3) Suppose Set2 is a set of sentences about a particular TARSKI blocks world. The world isn't
pictured. It could be any particular TARSKI blocks world. Suppose Set2 is logically consistent.
So you know for sure that: Neither (a) and (b)
4) Suppose Reasoning2 above is valid reasoning. Suppose its conclusion C2 is true.
This means you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
8) Suppose Reasoning2 above is invalid and that C1 is the opposite of sentence C2. That is, when
C1 is true, C2 is false and vice versa.
This means you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
9) Suppose Reasoning1 above is valid reasoning. Suppose its premises are all true.
This means you know for sure that: the conclusion (C1) is true also.
10) Suppose Reasoning2 has a conclusion which is always true (for example, it is A A).
This means you know for sure that: Reasoning2 is valid.
11) Suppose Set2 is a set of sentences about a particular TARSKI blocks world. The world isn't
pictured. It could be any particular TARSKI blocks world. Suppose Set2 is logically consistent.
So you know for sure that: Neither (a) and (b)
12) Suppose Set2 is a set of sentences about a particular TARSKI blocks world. The world isn't
pictured. It could be any particular TARSKI blocks world. Suppose Set2 is logically inconsistent.
So you know for sure that: Neither (a) and (b)
13) Suppose Set1 is a set of sentences about a particular TARSKI blocks world. The world isn't
pictured. It could be any particular TARSKI blocks world. Suppose Set1 is logically consistent.
So you know for sure that: Neither (a) and (b)
14) Suppose Set1 is a set of sentences about a particular TARSKI blocks world. The world isn't
pictured. It could be any particular TARSKI blocks world. Suppose Set1 is logically consistent.
So you know for sure that: all the sentences in the set can be true together in some
TARSKI blocks world (but maybe not this one)
18) Suppose Reasoning1 above is invalid reasoning. Suppose its premises are all false.
This means you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
19) Suppose Reasoning2 above is invalid reasoning. Suppose its premises are all true.
This means you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
20) Suppose Reasoning1 above is invalid reasoning. Suppose its premises are all false.
This means you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
21) Suppose Set1 is a set of sentences about a particular TARSKI blocks world. The world isn't
pictured. It could be any particular TARSKI blocks world. Suppose some of the sentences in the
set are true in the TARSKI blocks world and some are false.
So you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
22) Suppose Reasoning1 above has all false premises and a false conclusion C1.
This means you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
23) Suppose Reasoning2 is invalid. Suppose a premise is taken away from Reasoning2. This new
reasoning is called Reasoning2-.
Then you know for sure that: Reasoning2- is invalid.
24) Suppose Set2 is a set of sentences about a particular TARSKI blocks world. The world isn't
pictured. It could be any particular TARSKI blocks world. Suppose all the sentences in the set are
false in the TARSKI blocks world.
So you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
25) Suppose Set1 is not a consistent set of sentences. Suppose some of the sentences in Set1 are
replaced by sentences which logically mean the same thing as the original or are logically
equivalent to the original.
So you know for sure that: The new set of sentences is a consistent set of sentences
26) Suppose Reasoning2 above is valid and that C1 is the same sentence as C2.
This means you know for sure that: Reasoning1 is valid.
27) Suppose Reasoning2 above is valid and that C1 is not the same sentence as C2.
This means you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
28) Suppose Reasoning1 above has all true premises and a true conclusion C1.
This means you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
29) Suppose Reasoning2 above has all true premises and a false conclusion C2.
This means you know for sure that: Reasoning2 is invalid.
30) Suppose Set1 is a consistent set of sentences. The negations of each of the sentences in Set1
are in Set2. Suppose Set2 is as above.
So you know for sure that: Neither (a) nor (b)
31) Suppose Reasoning1 has two premises which cannot be true together (for example, one
premise says S and the other says ¬S).
This means you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
32) Suppose Reasoning2 is valid. Suppose a premise is taken away from Reasoning2. This new
reasoning is called Reasoning2-.
Then you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
33) Suppose Reasoning1 is invalid. Suppose another premise is added to Reasoning1. This new
reasoning is called Reasoning1+.
Then you know for sure that: Neither (1) nor (2)
