Determine and specify whether the statement is best
characterized as “True,” “False,” or if there is insufficient
information to make a definitive conclusion (“Uncertain”) (choose
only one of these three responses); and (ii) Provide a brief
explanation justifying your determination
You must provide an explanation to receive any points. Do not
simply repeat the statement if it is determined to be true, and do
not simply negate the statement if it is determined to be
false.
