### Discrete Mathematics Multiple-Choice Questions

#### Question 3:
What can you say about the truth value of the statement represented by \( p \wedge \neg p \)?

- (A) It's a tautology
- (B) Sometimes True
- (C) Always True
- (D) Always False

#### Question 4:
The notation \(\overline{A}\) means what?

- (A) The proper subset of \( A \)
- (B) The power set of \( A \)
- (C) The complement of \( A \)
- (D) The cardinality of \( A \)

#### Explanation:
- **Question 3 Analysis**: This question involves logical operators. The expression \( p \wedge \neg p \) is a conjunction of \( p \) and its negation, which results in a contradiction and is thus always false.
  
- **Question 4 Analysis**: The notation \(\overline{A}\) typically represents the complement of set \( A \), meaning all elements not in \( A \), assuming a universal set context is given.
