To determine the rows where the expression (p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r) is true, we can construct a truth table with columns for p, q, r, p ∧ q, p ∧ r, (p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r), as shown below:

```

p | q | r | p ∧ q | p ∧ r | (p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r)

----------------------------------------------

T | T | T | T | T | T

T | T | F | T | T | T

T | F | T | F | T | T

T | F | F | F | F | F

F | T | T | F | F | F

F | T | F | F | F | F

F | F | T | F | F | F

F | F | F | F | F | F

```

The rows where the expression (p ∧ q) ∨ (p ∧ r) is true are the first, second, and third rows, where the last column is true. Therefore, the rows where the expression is true are:

```

p | q | r

--------

T | T | T

T | T | F

T | F | T

```
