Answer 1: "TRUE" there are five errors in the first line. The sixth error is on the question that needs an answer, thus is not included in the first statement.
SET 2:
There are five errors in this phrase; True or false ?
Answer 2: "FALSE" There is only one error in the phrase "True or false ?". (space between last word and question mark)
SET 3:
Their are five erors in these phraze. (3 misspelling)
There are five errors in these phrase. (wrong grammar)
There are five errors in these phrases. (the first line is a sentence, the second line is a phrase)
There are five errors in these phrase and sentence. (wrong count, there are more than 5 errors as we are now talking about both lines)

Answer 3: "NO ANSWER" There is no concrete thought. If the first statement is about both lines, then we can assume that we do not need to answer the second line as it is included in the statement and not a question. If we need to answer the question, then "FALSE" as there were more than five errors before we arrived at the above sentence.
