Answer 1

Answer: A. If i go for a swim, then we will go to the ocean.

Explanation:

We know that the general form of converse of a conditional statement "p then q" is "q then p", here p denotes the hypothesis and q denotes the conclusion in a conditional statement.

The given conditional statement : "if we go to the ocean, then I will go for a swim"

Here, p="we go to the ocean"

q="I will go for a swim"

Now, interchange the hypothesis and conclusion, then the required converse statement will be :- "If we do not go to the ocean, then I will not go for a swim."
