Question

which of the following is a counterexample for this conditional statement? if a competition is a race, then its competitors are running. the tour de france, a bicycle race an olympic boxing match the u.s. open, a golf tournament the world series of baseball

Explanation:

A counter - example is an example that shows a conditional statement is false. The conditional statement is “If a competition is a race, then its competitors are running.” The Tour de France is a race (a bicycle race), but the competitors are not running (they are cycling). An Olympic boxing match is not a race, the U.S. Open (golf) is not a race, and the World Series (baseball) is not a race. So, only the Tour de France is a race (fulfills the “if” part) but does not have running competitors (fails the “then” part).

Answer:

the Tour de France, a bicycle race
