YOUR ANSWER: No, the statement "All women are poor drivers" is not true.

You are correct, presumably. At least men have never been able to prove that it's true, and women have never admitted it, so we have to settle for that.

But now let's consider one of our mathematical sentences, or equations:

1 + 2 = 3

Is this sentence true or false?

• I suppose the sentence is true, but I don't see why it's true.

• The sentence is true.

• The sentence is false.
