Description

I have worked on the assignment so far and I've gotten down to question category 4, but I really want to make sure that I am answering everything correctly. The questions are all supposed to be in my book but they weren't all there, and I don't know how to proceed with the questions asked from question 4 on. There are 6 categories of questions, but they all pretty much revolve around the same introductory steps to predicate symbolic logic. The file attached has all of the questions in PDF format
