Part 1

The meaning of the statement is

### Step 1: Clarify the meaning of the statement using grouping symbols
We need to introduce parentheses to clarify the meaning of the logical statement. The original statement is:

\[ q \leftrightarrow \neg p \leftrightarrow (\neg p \rightarrow q) \land (q \rightarrow \neg p) \]

We can break it down as follows:

1. **First Expression**: \( q \leftrightarrow \neg p \) means "q is equivalent to not p."
2. **Second Expression**: \( \neg p \rightarrow q \) means "if not p, then q."
3. **Third Expression**: \( q \rightarrow \neg p \) means "if q, then not p."

Now, grouping the expressions properly:

\[ (q \leftrightarrow \neg p) \leftrightarrow ((\neg p \rightarrow q) \land (q \rightarrow \neg p)) \]

### Step 2: Construct the truth table

To create a truth table, we need to consider all the combinations of truth values for \( q \) and \( p \), and then evaluate each part of the expression step by step. We'll break it down as follows:

| \( p \) | \( q \) | \( \neg p \) | \( q \leftrightarrow \neg p \) | \( \neg p \rightarrow q \) | \( q \rightarrow \neg p \) | \( (\neg p \rightarrow q) \land (q \rightarrow \neg p) \) | \( (q \leftrightarrow \neg p) \leftrightarrow ((\neg p \rightarrow q) \land (q \rightarrow \neg p)) \) |

- **\( p \)** and **\( q \)** represent the truth values for the variables \( p \) and \( q \).
- **\( \neg p \)** is the negation of \( p \).
- **\( q \leftrightarrow \neg p \)** evaluates whether \( q \) is logically equivalent to \( \neg p \).
- **\( \neg p \rightarrow q \)** evaluates whether \( \neg p \) implies \(
