The correct Answer is:
To determine which example uses an exclusive "or," we need to understand the difference between inclusive "or" and exclusive "or." ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Inclusive "Or":** - Inclusive "or" means that at least one of the statements can be true, and both can also be true. - For example, if we say "You can enter a country with a passport or a voter registration card," it means you can enter with just a passport, just a voter registration card, or both. 2. **Understanding Exclusive "Or":** - Exclusive "or" means that only one of the statements can be true at a time, but not both. - For example, if we say "You can enter a country with a passport or a voter registration card, but not both," then having both would not allow entry. 3. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Option 1:** "To enter a country, you need a passport or a voter registration card." - This is inclusive "or" because having either one or both allows entry. - **Option 2:** "The school is closed if it is a holiday or a Sunday." - This is also inclusive "or" since the school can be closed on either day or both. - **Option 3:** "There exists a number which is equal to its square." - This is an exclusive "or" because the only number that satisfies this condition is 1 (1 = 1²). No other number can satisfy this condition simultaneously. - **Option 4:** "You are wet when it rains or you are in a river." - This is inclusive "or" because you can be wet from either or both situations. 4. **Conclusion:** - The example that uses an exclusive "or" is **Option 3:** "There exists a number which is equal to its square."
