To determine the truth values of the statements, let's define the propositions:

  • p: Every square is a rectangle.
  • q: Every rhombus is a kite.

Now, we analyze the implications:

Truth Value of p → q

The statement "p → q" means "If p is true, then q is true." Since every square is indeed a rectangle (p is true), but not every rhombus is a kite (q is false), the implication is false. Therefore, the truth value of p → q is F.

Truth Value of p ↔ q

The statement "p ↔ q" means "p is true if and only if q is true." Since p is true and q is false, this statement is also false. Thus, the truth value of p ↔ q is F.

In summary, the truth values are: F for p → q and F for p ↔ q. The correct answer is A. F, F.
