In the context of the flashcards, if two things are "inconsistent," what is the implication?

  1. May vary

  2. One is valid, the other isn't

  3. Both are accurate

  4. Both cannot be correct

The correct answer is: Both cannot be correct

When two things are described as "inconsistent," the implication is that both of them cannot be correct at the same time. The term "inconsistent" means that there is a contradiction or conflict between the two things, indicating that they cannot both be true simultaneously. Therefore, the correct answer is that both cannot be correct. This distinguishes the relationship between inconsistent elements from choices A, B, and C.
