Question

Which choice shows a true conditional with a correctly identified hypothesis and conclusion?

A) If it is raining (hypothesis), then the ground is wet (conclusion).
B) If the ground is wet (hypothesis), then it is raining (conclusion).
C) If it is not raining (hypothesis), then the ground is dry (conclusion).
D) If the ground is dry (hypothesis), then it is not raining (conclusion).

Answer 1

The correct choice that shows a true conditional with a correctly identified hypothesis and conclusion is A) If it is raining (hypothesis), then the ground is wet (conclusion).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct choice that shows a true conditional with a correctly identified hypothesis and conclusion is A) If it is raining (hypothesis), then the ground is wet (conclusion).

This is the correct option because it follows the logical structure of a conditional statement. The hypothesis is the condition that must be met in order for the conclusion to be true. In this case, the condition is rainfall and the conclusion is wet ground.

To further illustrate, we can think of it this way: if it is raining (hypothesis), then it is expected that the ground will be wet (conclusion).
