    • Not sure how to do that

URL to the section(s) of the book with this problem:
https://rust-book.cs.brown.edu/ch01-03-hello-cargo.html

Description of the problem:
The current phrasing of a quiz question in Section 1.3 may cause confusion or misreading. The question asks "Which statement is NOT true...", which can be misread as "Which statement is TRUE...". This could lead to incorrect answers due to the subtle distinction between "NOT true" and "TRUE".

Suggested fix:
Rephrase the question to "Which statement is FALSE..." to reduce verbosity, improve clarity, and avoid potential misreading. This change will make the question more concise and easier to understand, ensuring that readers focus on the content rather than the phrasing.
