THE BUTTERFLY
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for
several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.
Until it suddenly stopped making any progress and looked like it was
stuck.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and Quarter 2 Week 7-A
snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged (M11GM-IIg-1-2)
easily, although it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The learner illustrates and symbolizes propositions.
The man didn’t think anything of it and sat there waiting for the wings to
enlarge to support the butterfly. But that didn’t happen. The butterfly Republic Act 8293, section 176 states that: No copyright shall subsist in any

GENERALIZATIONS
EXERCISE
Proposition is a declarative sentence that is either true or false, but
not both. If a proposition is true, then its truth value is true which is
denoted byT ; otherwise, its truth value is false and is denoted by F. Directions: Determine whether each of the following statements is
Propositions are usually denoted by small letters. For example, a proposition or not. If a proposition, give its truth value. Write your
answers on your answer sheet.
p : I love studying mathematics.
1) b: A circle is a polygon.
This may be read as, “p is a proposition I love studying mathematics.”
2) c: Corona virus is deadly.
A paradox is a declarative sentence which could neither be true, nor
false, or both true and false. 3) d: She is so pretty.
Determine whether each of the following statements is a proposition 6) h: The sum of two even numbers is even.
or not. If a proposition, give its truth value.
7) j: Do we have a class tomorrow?
1) p : Twelve is a prime number.
8) k: Iloilo City is the queen city of the south.
Solution: This is a declarative sentence but twelve is not a
prime number,therefore it is a false proposition.
9) m: I love you!
2) r : Stay away from me!
10) n: Rodrigo Duterte is the 16th president of the Philippines.
Solution: This is an imperative sentence, and so it is not a
proposition. 11) p: A hexagon is a polygon with six sides.
3) s : A square is a rectangle.
12) r: Please lend me your ears.
Solution: This is a declarative sentence, and since a square is a
rectangle, then s is a true proposition. 13) s: Red is a primary color.
4) t : Do you want to travel abroad? 14) t: n is an odd number.
Solution: This is an interrogative sentence. Hence, it is not a
proposition. 15) v: December 25 is Christmas Day.
5) w : 2x + 8 = 13
Solution: This is a declarative sentence which may be read as
“ The sum of twice a number x and eight is thirteen”, but we
cannot determine whether it is true or false because of the
variable x; therefore w is not a proposition.
