Some dogs are friendly. There is at least one unfriendly dog. There is at least one friendly dog. (b) All graphs are connected. All graphs are disconnected. Not all graphs are disconnected. Some graphs are connected. There is at least one graph that is disconnected. There is at least one graph that is connected. (c) Some suspicions were substantiated. All suspicions were substantiated. All suspicions were unsubstantiated. Some suspicions were unsubstantiated. There is at least one suspicion that was unsubstantiated. There is at least one suspicion that was substantiated.

Check all the statements that are true: A. The negation of a conjunction is the disjunction of the negations. B. A conditional is false when both premise and conclusion are false. C. Domain-restricted existential quantification is logically equivalent to the unrestricted existential quantification of a conditional. D. (p→q)∧(p→¬q) is a contradiction. E. The contrapositive is the inverse of the converse. F. Domain-restricted universal quantification is logically equivalent to the unrestricted universal quantification of a conditional. G. A predicate is a proposition-valued function. H. Inverse and converse are logically equivalent. I. It is possible to define disjunction using only negations and conjunction. J. (p→q)∨(p→¬q) is a tautology.

Express each of these statements using quantifiers. Then form the negation of the statement so that no negation is to the left of a quantifier. Next, express the negation in simple English. (Do not simply use the phrase "It is not the case that.") a) All dogs have fleas. b) There is a horse that can add. c) Every koala can climb. d) No monkey can speak French. e) There exists a pig that can swim and catch fish.
