Brent,

First of all, Thanks for prompt reply.

But i was facing problem with "Statement 1: x^2 is an even integer", which can take x as negative value. In that case one is unable to decide whether the integer x is even.

1. x2 = x(even)* x(even)
2. x2 = x(-ve)* x(-ve)

Please clarify.

because RULE incorrectly is compared to HIS MILITARY EXPEDITIONS. So there should be modifier which directly refers to the noun EMPEROR CLAUDIUS and logically fits to the sentence.
