Q:

Negate: "In every good book there is a plot twist or surprise ending."

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:"There exists a good book that does not have a plot twist and does not have a surprise ending".Step-by-step explanation:We negate the universal quantifier "for all" or equivalently "In every" using the existential quantifier "There exists". So, we negate "In every good book" as "There exists a good book". In the other hand, we have the propositionsP: there is a plot twistQ: there is a surprise ending, and the conjunctionP ∨ Q. We negate this conjunction using the De Morgan's Laws as¬(P∨Q) = ¬P∧¬Qi.e., does not have a plot twist and does not have a surprise ending. Therefore, we negate "In every good book there is a plot twist or surprise ending" as "There exists a good book that does not have a plot twist and does not have a surprise ending".
