Part 1
​a) The negation is symbolized by​ ~ and is read
▼
"not."
"but."
"or."
"and."
"if and only if."
"if dash then."

For part a), the negation symbol `~` is read as **"not."**

Let's now address the remaining parts:

b) The conjunction symbol is typically represented by `∧` (logical and) and is read **"and."**

c) The disjunction symbol is typically represented by `∨` (logical or) and is read **"or."**

Would you like more detailed explanations or any clarifications? Here are five relative questions:

1. What is the difference between conjunction and disjunction in logic?
2. How does negation change the truth value of a proposition?
3. Can conjunctions and disjunctions be used together in a single logical expression?
4. What are the truth tables for conjunction, disjunction, and negation?
5. How does the use of parentheses affect the precedence of logical operators?

**Tip:** In logical expressions, negation (`~`) has the highest precedence, followed by conjunction (`∧`), and then disjunction (`∨`). Always evaluate operations based on their precedence unless parentheses are used.

Learn how to interpret the logical operators: negation (~) as 'not,' conjunction (∧) as 'and,' and disjunction (∨) as 'or.' This problem covers symbolic logic concepts commonly taught at the advanced high school or college level.
