• There are no black flies in Maine is indeed a proposition because is a statement that can either be True or False.

• 4 + x = 5 is not a proposition because is a statement with an infinite number of answers, in contrast, 4 + 1 = 5 is a proposition because is either True or False.
• The moon is made of green cheese is a proposition because is a statement that can either be True or False.
• 2 n ≥ 100 is not a proposition because is a statement with an infinity number of answer and is not clear whether is True or False, in contrast, 2 ≥ 100 is a proposition because is either True or False.
