What is the symbolic representation of a conditional proposition?

• A minus sign

• An equal sign

• A horseshoe

• A plus sign

In a conditional proposition, what is the term for the statement that follows the connective?

• Antecedent

• Consequence

• Conclusion

• Premise

How can a proposition be conditional without using 'if-then'?

• By using a period

• By suggesting a cause and effect relationship

• By using a comma

• By using a question mark

When the antecedent is stated after the consequent, how should the proposition be symbolized?

• By using a different symbol

• By using the same order

• By reversing the symbols

• By ignoring the order

What is the truth value of a conditional proposition when both the antecedent and consequent are false?

• Depends on context

• Cannot be determined

• False

• True

Which condition makes a conditional proposition false?

• Antecedent is false, consequent is true

• Both antecedent and consequent are false

• Both antecedent and consequent are true

• Antecedent is true, consequent is false

If 'P' is false and 'Q' is true, what is the truth value of 'P then Q'?

• True

• False

• Cannot be determined

• Depends on context

What does the first row in a truth table for conditional propositions indicate?

• P is true, Q is false

• P is false, Q is true

• P is false, Q is false

• P is true, Q is true

What is the truth value of 'P then Q' if P is true and Q is true?

• Depends on context

• Cannot be determined

• False

• True

In a truth table, what does the second row indicate when P is true and Q is false?

• P then Q is true

• P then Q is false

• P then Q cannot be determined

• P then Q depends on context
