Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement is a conjunction because it combines two simple statements: "Pat Rabbit did not go into Mr. McNoodle's garden" and "Molly collected blueberries" using "and". The symbol $\sim p$ represents the negation of Pat Rabbit going into the garden, and $q$ represents Molly collecting blueberries. The $\wedge$ symbol is used for "and", making the statement a conjunction.
