Which is the correct choice? I don't quite understand your explanation, Clive. Could you explain once more? Thank you very much.

Hi,
Sorry.
Each means both X and Y.
Either means X or Y.
In the test, either is correct.
If this is still not clear, please write again and I'll try again!
Best wishes, Clive

D and E won't make sense.
And I am not sure whether A will be ok.
The choice between A (?), B, and C will make correct sentences with different meanings.
To make the choice, you have to know what is unlikely in your example:
A: that both the countries regain confidence
C: that at least one of them does it
B: that none of them do it.
Using B seems not very goo

Thank you. Could you tell me what Boolean logic is? Thank you.
I think the correct choice is C (either) because the sentence is in the negative sense as it contains a negative word unlikely. Pronouns such as both, all, each, every are only used in sentences of assertive sense. When "both people didn't come to the party", the proper way to say it should be: "Neither of them came t

Hi,
Could you tell me what Boolean logic is? It's a form of logic that deals with the operators 'and', 'or' and 'not'. It's very computer relevant. You also encounter it, for example, in Search Engines.

«Could you tell me what Boolean logic is?»
It comes from the human thinkig. It operates with judgments irrelative of their menaing. The only important thing is whether a judgment is true or not. So, boolean variables assume two values: true and false.
Boolean functions are functions of boolean arguments, assuming boolean values.
AND, NOT, and OR is just one of possible

It can't be each because each does not occur as a subject in negative contexts.
*I do not think that each will return from class at 3 o'clock.
In this kind of sentence, use either for two, any for more:
I do not think that [either / any] (of t
