That section of the lecture really confused me. I am confused. Why are we converting the false terms into true? And still, confused about how to do that?

Thanks for the question! So it’s basically a way of eliminating wrong answer choices. Say you have a question that’s asking you “what must be true?” Well, the wrong answer choices are ones that do not have to be true, right? In other words, they could be false. So when eliminating answers for must be true questions, we want to find ones that could be false. Those are the wrong answers. Similarly, if the question asks “what must be false?” The wrong answers are those that could be true. If the question asks “what could be false?” Wrong answers are those that must be true, since those can never be false. So that’s the general idea behind all that stuff.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
