Step-by-step explanation:

i. Since the passage has some contradictory statements it could be rightly called a contradictory statement.

iii. Yes, we notice that the account of his dialing 911 for the emergency services is not possible because that is the official emergency number of the US but not in Ghana. Second, Kofi's statement that the ambulance service of Ghana is horrible lacks truth since already there's a question of where he was when he dialed 911.

x. Another way to express "but" using logical symbol is using "AND" command e
