According to the traditional analysis of knowledge, truth is necessary but not sufficient for knowledge.

a. true
b. false


Correct answer is b. false. (Belief is necessary but not sufficient for knowledge. We are all sometimes mistaken in what we believe; in other words, while some of our beliefs are true, others are false. In other words, true belief is not sufficient for knowledge; since a belief can be true by accident or lucky guesswork, and knowledge cannot be a matter of luck or accident.)
