2.3.x. Exercise questions

Use the basic system of derivations to check each of the claims below; if a derivation indicates that a claim fails, present a counterexample (that is, give an interpretation that divides an open gap and calculate truth values for the premises and conclusion from it—as is done in the example in 2.3.3):

1. A ⇒ A ∧ B
2. A ∧ B ⇒ A ∧ (B ∧ A)
3. B ∧ E, C ∧ ⊤ ⇒ (A ∧ B) ∧ (C ∧ D)
4. A ∧ B, B ∧ C, C ∧ D ⇒ A ∧ D
5. A, B ∧ A, D ⇒ B ∧ ((C ∧ A) ∧ D)
