Answer 1

Answer:

Statements A and B are Falsifiable

Statements C, D and E are not Falsifiable

Statement A and Statement B are falsifiable statement. This is because any new evidence could come up to dispute this statements.

Statement A is said to be falsifiable because he can be checked against records that he is actually the 35th President of the United States.

Statement B which says ". Kennedy died from a bullet in his brain." This could be disputed if a medical examiner decides to come up with new evidence to say otherwise.

For Statement E "If he'd lived, Kennedy would have ended the Vietnam War." This statement cannot be disproven.
