Final answer:

The statement that some of 2 out of 7 is almost 30 is false (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement "some of 2 out of 7 is almost 30" is false because adding any two numbers from a set of seven, regardless of their values, cannot result in a sum "almost 30." The maximum sum achievable by adding two numbers from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} is 7 + 6 = 13, which is far from being "almost 30."

Each combination of two numbers from 1 to 7, when added, ranges from 3 (1 + 2) to 13 (6 + 7). None of these sums come close to 30, making the statement untrue.

Therefore, the assertion that "some of 2 out of 7 is almost 30" is categorically false, as the sum of any two numbers from the set of seven integers does not approach the value of 30.
