The statement contains a double or multiple negation. Analyze the statement, explaining what it means.The state assembly repealed the ban on anti-smoking resolutions.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers may vary. One possibility: The expression "repealed the ban" is a double negation. In repealing the ban on the resolutions in question, the state assembly in effect allowed them. Since the resolutions are "anti-smoking," a third negation is involved. A triple negation (not not not p) has the opposite truth value as the original proposition p. In short, the assembly is now allowing resolutions that prohibit smoking. If one were a lobbyist for the tobacco companies, this might be a setback.
