Problem

Consider the statements:

$\textbf{(1)}\ \text{p and q are both true}\qquad\textbf{(2)}\ \text{p is true and q is false}\qquad\textbf{(3)}\ \text{p is false and q is true}\qquad\textbf{(4)}\ \text{p is false and q is false.}$

How many of these imply the negative of the statement "p and q are both true?"

$\textbf{(A)}\ 0\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 1\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 2\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 3\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 4$
