b
Assume T has quantifier elimination, and let j:M→N be a structure embedding between its models. For any first-order formula φ(xˉ), choose a quantifier-free formula ψ equivalent to it modulo T. A structure embedding preserves and reflects atomic formulas; induction through the Boolean connectives therefore preserves every quantifier-free formula. Thus
M⊨φ(aˉ)⟺M⊨ψ(aˉ)⟺N⊨ψ(jaˉ)⟺N⊨φ(jaˉ).
(1)
The embedding is elementary. Every theory with quantifier elimination is model-complete.
