Question

Refer to the following conditional statement: If a and b are odd integers, then a • b is an odd integer. Which shows the hypothesis? A. a and b are not odd integers B. a • b is not an odd integer C. a and b are odd integers D. a • b is an odd integer

Answer 1

Explanation:

Option d is your correct answer.

Answer 2

A is not part of the problem, and it's what makes the condition false.  B is the opposite of the statement being proved.  C is the condition, not the hypothesis.  However, D is the statement we are trying to prove, or the hypothesis.
