Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Logical connectives are symbols used to connect sentences in a grammatically valid way.

p: It is below freezing

q: It is snowing

The letters p and q will always indicate these sentences.

a) It is below freezing and snowing.

p ∧ q

∧ indicates "and"

b) It is below freezing but not snowing.

p ↛ q

↛ indicates "but not"

c) It is not below freezing and it is not snowing

(¬p) ∧ (¬q)

¬ indicates "not"

∧ indicates "and"

d) It is either snowing or below freezing (or both)

p ∨ q

∨ indicates "or", it means it can happen one of them or both.

e) If it is below freezing, it is also snowing

p, q

f) Either it is below freezing or it is snowing, but it is not snowing if it is below freezing

(p ∨ q) ∧ ¬q ← p

∨ indicates "or", it means it can happen one of them or both.

∧ indicates "but"

← indicates "if"

g) That it is below freezing is necessary and sufficient for it to be snowing

p ↔ q

↔ indicates "if and only if", it means that if "p" doesn't happen then q will not happen.

I hope it helps!
