No. The full language can express , which is false in the singleton structure from part (i). Every formula of the reduced language is true in that structure under every assignment in a first-order structure. Therefore no formula of the reduced language can be logically equivalent to this negated equality.
This is a singleton truth-preservation obstruction to expressive completeness. Adding both quantifiers to logical implication does not repair the failure: on this particular nonempty singleton model, quantification cannot create a false formula from true atomic formulas.
