Questions

Question 1 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the primary difference between classical logic and modal logic?

  1. Classical logic deals with statements that are either true or false, while modal logic deals with statements that are possibly true or possibly false.
  2. Classical logic is based on the principle of bivalence, while modal logic is based on the principle of multivalence.
  3. Classical logic is concerned with the relationship between premises and conclusions, while modal logic is concerned with the relationship between possible worlds.
  4. Classical logic is used to reason about the real world, while modal logic is used to reason about hypothetical worlds.
