Answer 3

I am saying, do you think the statement is compound or simple ?

compound

Answer 5

Yes, correct. It consists of 2 parts.

Answer 6

Now, in order to see if it is A, B or C, can you show/explain (to) me the difference between
biconditional, conjunction, and conditional ? (So that I know that you know this stuff)

Answer 7

to be honest i don`t know them

Answer 8

Alright...

a) When a conditional statement and its converse are both true it is a biconditional statement.
b) Conditional statement is just anytime you see something like "if...then" or along these lines.
c) I don;t know what a conjunction is though. (In math it's a+bi vs a-bi), but idk it in English ... sorry-:(

Answer 9

I'll research it...

Answer 10

so the answer is C

Answer 11

Oh, I think I found a good page for "conjunction", http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/conjunctions.htm

Well, it certainly can be C, b/c it IS a conditional statement.
Is it biconditional, well... the first clause is not true/false, so i don't think it can be biconditional...
I am thinking A or C, but more likely C.

Answer 12

I meant to say that I am thinking either conjunction or conditional...

Answer 13

But as far as I can see from my research; "conjunction" is when you choose btw one of the 2 parts of the statement, which is not true in this case, so I would say C
