Boolean operator quiz

Consider the following excerpt from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll:

1)The Hatter was the first to break the silence. 'What day of the month is it?' he said, turning to Alice: he had taken his watch out of his pocket, and was looking at it uneasily, shaking it every now and then, and holding it to his ear.

2)Alice considered a little, and then said 'The fourth.'

3)'Two days wrong!' sighed the Hatter. 'I told you butter wouldn't suit the works!' he added looking angrily at the March Hare.

4)'It was the BEST butter,' the March Hare meekly replied.

5)'Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well,' the Hatter grumbled: 'you shouldn't have put it in with the bread-knife.'

6)The March Hare took the watch and looked at it gloomily: then he dipped it into his cup of tea, and looked at it again: but he could think of nothing better to say than his first remark, 'It was the BEST butter, you know.'

7)Alice had been looking over his shoulder with some curiosity. 'What a funny watch!' she remarked. 'It tells the day of the month, and doesn't tell what o'clock it is!'

8)'Why should it?' muttered the Hatter. 'Does YOUR watch tell you what year it is?'

9)'Of course not,' Alice replied very readily: 'but that's because it stays the same year for such a long time together.'

10)'Which is just the case with MINE,' said the Hatter.
