Answer 2

What do you think?

Answer 3

D.. Correct????

Answer 4

Nope, why do you think that might be wrong? Go back and think about it for a few seconds and if you can't figure it out that's ok, it's kind of weird. But maybe you can figure it out! =)

Answer 5

I'm really confused..

Answer 6

It is sunny?

Answer 7

Maybe that one

Answer 8

So it says if it is sunny, then I will have a picnic.

If it is rainy, you could also have a picnic, couldn't you? Just because you're having a picnic doesn't necessarily mean the weather is sunny.

You only know that if it's sunny you're having a picnic. Simply having a picnic doesn't mean it had to be sunny.

Answer 9

So it would be it is sunny

Answer 10

No.

Answer 11

It's not possible to draw a conclusion here. You are having a picnic, but it could easily be overcast.

For instance, is there any reason why I couldn't say:

If it is sunny, then i will have a picnic
AND
If it is overcast, then i will have a picnic

right? I could easily have a picnic any time, there's no way we can make a decision here about the weather since we don't have enough information.

Answer 12

So i guess not possible

Answer 13

Yeah.
