Question

Which conditional statement has a converse that is true?



A.


If I am biking, then I am moving.



B.


If I am in the desert, then I am thirsty.



C.


If I am running, then I am exercising.



D.


If I am awake, then I am studying.

Answer 1

Write the converse of each choice. Then see if it is true.

Answer 2

C then

Answer 3

Here is choice A. as an example:

A. If I am biking, then I am moving.
Converse: If I am moving, then I am biking.
Is that really true? You can be moving by simply walking, not biking.

Now do this to choices B, C, and D

Answer 4

i still think it's C then

Answer 5

C. If I am running, then I am exercising.
Converse: If I am exercising, then I am running.

You could exercise by lifting weights. Exercising does not necessarily mean you must be running.

Answer 6

The converses of both A and C are not necessarily true, so A and C are not it.

Answer 7

Write the converse of B now.
What is it and is it necessarily true?

Answer 11

Please write the converses of both B and D.
What do you get for them?

Answer 12

B. If I am in the desert, then I am thirsty.
Converse: If I am thirsty, then I am in the desert.

D. If I am awake, then I am studying.
Converse: If I am studying, then I am awake.

You understand how those are the converses of B and D?

Answer 13

D

Answer 14

B. If I am in the desert, then I am thirsty.
Converse: If I am thirsty, then I am in the desert.
I could be thirsty for many other reasons. Perhaps I just ran a marathon. Perhaps I haven't had anything to drink for the last 10 hours. Just because I am thirsty, it does not necessarily mean I'm in a desert. B is not the answer.


D. If I am awake, then I am studying.
Converse: If I am studying, then I am awake.
This is the correct answer. If you are studying, you must be awake. You can't study while you're asleep, so the only possibility is to be awake. D is it.


D is the correct answer.
You are correct.
