At a press conference, a reporter asked a candidate for mayor, “Did you sleep with Annie Actress?” The candidate responded, “Definitely not.” Another reporter asked, “Is that false?” The candidate responded, “Yes.”

Select the answer choice that correctly describes the candidate’s responses:
  1. The candidate slept with Annie Actress between the first and second question.
  2. If the candidate’s second answer is true, his first answer is true.
  3. If the candidate’s first answer is false, his second answer is true.
  4. If the candidate’s first answer is false, his second answer is false.
Explanation
Answer: C - If the candidate’s first answer is false, his second answer is true. If the candidate did sleep with Annie Actress, and the candidate falsely answered that he did not do so, then his second answer is true. Answer A is not correct because it adds facts that are not a part of the question. Answer B is incorrect because George’s responses cannot both be true. Answer D is incorrect because George’s responses cannot both be false.
