ommy Flanagan was telling you what he ate yesterday afternoon. He tells you, “I had either popcorn or raisins. Also, if I had cucumber sandwiches, then I had soda. But I didn’t drink soda or tea.” Of course you know that Tommy is the worlds worst liar, and everything he says is false. What did Tommy eat? Justify your answer by writing all Tommy’s statements using sentence variables (P, Q, R, S, T ), taking their negations, and using these to deduce what Tommy actually ate
