The statement connects two individual propositions with the word or. State whether the entire statement is true or false, and explain why.The grass is wet or the grass is dry.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

True. If the first proposition is false (the grass is not wet), then the second proposition is true (the grass is dry). If the second proposition is false (the grass is not dry), then the first proposition is true (the grass is wet). Thus, one of the propositions is true, so the disjunction is true.
