Answer 11

wait did u just say a random asnwer to get a medal or is that answer realy right

Answer 12

There's no way kindc23 can know for sure unless he has the same problem as you (and he knows the conditional). So it's most likely a guess.

Yes. Then the statement is true.

Answer 24

oh so that question was conected to the next one o wow

Answer 25

For this one you have to think about it. If it is a dog it must have 4 legs.. But however it if said If it has 4 legs, then it is a dog. The statement would be false because it could be a cat, racoon, donkey, horse etc. etc.

Answer 26

yea i see ur point thier

Answer 27

By the way this statement is the CONVERSE of the original conditional "If it has 4 legs, then it is a dog"
