True or false. to select 3 items out of 4 distinct objects, use c(4,3).

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

C(4, 3) means the number of combinations from 4 items taking 3 at a time.  We are selecting 3 distinct items and it doesn't say anything about the order in which they are selected , so we use  a combination formula  not a permutation ( where order does matter).

C(4, 3)  = 4! / 3! 1!

= 4*3*2*1 / 3*2*1*1

= 4.

There are 4 ways to select 3 items from 4.

uhhh idk u yolo?

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
