Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the difference between necessity and possibility in modal logic?

  1. Necessity refers to events that are certain to happen, while possibility refers to events that might happen.
  2. Necessity refers to events that are true in all possible worlds, while possibility refers to events that are true in some possible worlds.
  3. Necessity refers to events that are logically true, while possibility refers to events that are empirically true.
