The correct Answer is:
To interpret the statement \( p \): "For every integer \( x \), \( x^2 \) is a positive integer (where \( x \neq 0 \))", we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Original Statement The original statement asserts that for every integer \( x \) (except zero), the square of \( x \) is a positive integer. This means that no matter which integer you choose (as long as it is not zero), when you square it, the result will always be a positive integer. ### Step 2: Analyze the Options We need to analyze the given options to find an interpretation that maintains the same meaning as the original statement. 1. **Option 1**: "There is at least one integer exists such that its square is a positive integer." - This option suggests that there is at least one integer with a positive square, which is weaker than the original statement that claims this is true for every integer. Thus, it changes the meaning. 2. **Option 2**: "There is at most one integer exists such that its square is a positive integer." - This option implies a limitation on the number of integers with positive squares, which again changes the meaning of the original statement. The original statement does not suggest any limitation. 3. **Option 3**: "In the set of integers, the square of all integers is a positive integer." - This option correctly reflects the original statement's meaning. It asserts that for every integer (excluding zero), squaring it results in a positive integer. ### Step 3: Conclusion Based on the analysis, the correct interpretation of statement \( p \) is: **Option 3**: "In the set of integers, the square of all integers is a positive integer."
