 The statement would not be considered a good definition. The statement is a biconditional statement that can be written as the conjunction of a conditional statement and its converse. We can write it as "If an object is a piece of paper, then it can be drawn on, and if an object can be drawn on, then it is a piece of paper.” The conditional statement is true, but its converse is not. A counterexample would be that you can draw on a marker board. A good definition requires that both the conditional statement and its converse are true.

A compound statement can be represented in symbolic logic as p ∧ q

The statement "A piece of paper is an object that can be drawn on" is not a compound statement

Reason:

  • A compound statement is a statement that consists of two simple statements combined into one statement

The given statement is "A piece of paper is an object that can be drawn on"

The given statement is made up of just one subject which is 'a piece of paper'. The statement also has just one predicate, which is 'is an object that can be drawn on'

Therefore;

  • The given statement is a simple statement and not a compound statement
