**Logical Statement Analysis**

The statement to evaluate is:

\[\lnot \forall x \, P(x) \text{ is equivalent to } \exists x \, \lnot P(x).\]

Determine if the following is true or false:
- ○ True
- ○ False

**Explanation:**

The expression \(\lnot \forall x \, P(x)\) translates to "It is not true that for all \(x\), \(P(x)\) is true." This means there exists at least one \(x\) for which \(P(x)\) is not true. Therefore, \(\lnot \forall x \, P(x)\) is logically equivalent to \(\exists x \, \lnot P(x)\).

The options provided are to verify this equivalence logically.
