Answer 1

Select the term that best describes the statement: The glass is not always half full. a. conjunction

b. disjunction

c. negation

d. conditional

The answer is (C) negation.

Answer 2

c. negation

Explanation:

A conjunction is two statements joined by "and"; that does not fit this statement, so it is not a conjunction.

A disjunction is two statements joined by "or"; that does not fit this statement, so it is not a disjunction.

A conditional is an "if-then" statement; that does not fit this statement, so it is not a conditional.

This is a negation; the word "not" negates "the glass is always half full."
