1. The problem is to understand how to identify a statement in logic and provide examples. 2. A statement is a sentence that is either true or false, but not both. 3. Examples of statements: - "The sky is blue." (This is a statement because it can be true or false.) - "2 + 2 = 4." (This is a true statement.) - "The Earth is flat." (This is a false statement.) 4. Examples of sentences that are NOT statements: - "Close the door." (This is a command, not a statement.) - "What time is it?" (This is a question, not a statement.) - "x + 3" (This is an expression, not a statement.) 5. To identify a statement, check if the sentence can be clearly classified as true or false. Final answer: A statement is a declarative sentence that is either true or false.
