To determine which sentence is not a statement, we need to understand what a statement is. A statement is a sentence that expresses a complete thought and can be either true or false. In other words, it makes a claim that can be evaluated.
Let's analyze each sentence to see if it meets the criteria of being a statement:
1. 2 x 4 = 7: This sentence is a mathematical equation and can be evaluated as false since 2 multiplied by 4 equals 8, not 7. This sentence is a statement.
2. 8 + 2: This sentence is also a mathematical equation but it does not make any claim or express a complete thought. It is only an expression without an equals sign or any context. Therefore, this sentence is not a statement.
3. Jan and Ella are neighbors: This sentence expresses a claim about the relationship between Jan and Ella. It presents a complete thought that can be either true or false. Therefore, this sentence is a statement.
4. Bill is a photographer: This sentence states a fact about Bill's profession. It expresses a complete thought and can be evaluated as true or false. Thus, this sentence is a statement.
