    Q1: Do the rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$ together with the multiplication form a group?

    A1: No, because not all elements have inverses.

    A2: No, because the identity element is missing.

    A3: Yes, it’s a group.

    A4: No, it’s not even a semigroup.

    Q2: Consider a semigroup $(S, \circ)$ with two (different) elements $S = { e, a }$. Is it possible that we have $e = e \circ e$ and $a = a \circ a$?

    A1: Yes, it’s possible.

    A2: No, $a$ is not invertible.

    A3: No, because we need to have a unique neutral element.

    Q3: Consider a group $(S, \circ)$ with two (different) elements $S = { e, a }$, where $e$ is the neutral element. Is it possible that we have $e = e \circ e$ and $a = a \circ a$?

    A1: Yes, it’s possible.

    A2: No, because it would imply that $a$ is not invertible.

    A3: No, because it would imply that we have two neutral elements.
