Question

Suppose p is the statement 'There are 1,000 meters in one kilometer' and q is the statement 'You will give me a cake.' Select the correct symbolization for the statement 'There are 1,000 meters in one kilometer or you will not give me a cake'.

Answer 1

Let $p$ is the statement 'There are 1,000 meters in one kilometer' and $q$ is the statement 'You will give me a cake.' It follows that the correct symbolization for the statement 'There are 1,000 meters in one kilometer or you will not give me a cake' is $p\lor\neg q.$
