Hi again!

Okay, so when we're dealing with propositions, they can only be evaluated as true or false. So, which statement can be true, or false?

A of course! =)

The answer is A: She set sail on Tuesday.  This statement is a proposition. The statements in B and D are interrogative sentences. The statement in C is a greeting.  A proposition is a statement or a suggestion offered for consideration.  In logic, it's an expression that may be true or false, it can be affirmed or denied. There is the purpose of determining the validity of a claim.
