Question

1. which choice shows a true conditional with the hypothesis and conclusion identified correctly?

a. yesterday was monday if
tomorrow is thursday.
hypothesis: tomorrow is thursday.
conclusion: yesterday was monday.
b. if tomorrow is thursday, then
yesterday was tuesday.
hypothesis: yesterday was tuesday.
conclusion: tomorrow is not thursday.
c. if tomorrow is thursday, then
yesterday was tuesday.
hypothesis: yesterday was tuesday.
conclusion: tomorrow is thursday.
d. yesterday was tuesday if
tomorrow is thursday.
hypothesis: tomorrow is thursday.
conclusion: yesterday was tuesday.

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option a: If tomorrow is Thursday, today is Wednesday, so yesterday was Tuesday, not Monday. So the conclusion is false.
2. Analyze Option b: The hypothesis and conclusion are reversed. The correct hypothesis should be "tomorrow is Thursday" and conclusion "yesterday was Tuesday", and the conclusion here is also wrong.
3. Analyze Option c: Hypothesis and conclusion are reversed, and the relationship is incorrect.
4. Analyze Option d: If tomorrow is Thursday, today is Wednesday, so yesterday was Tuesday. The hypothesis is "tomorrow is Thursday" and conclusion is "yesterday was Tuesday", both the conditional statement is true and the hypothesis - conclusion identification is correct.

Answer:

d. Yesterday was Tuesday if tomorrow is Thursday.
Hypothesis: Tomorrow is Thursday.
Conclusion: Yesterday was Tuesday.
