Question

Every conditional has two parts. The "if" statement is the _______.

A. conditional
B. conclusion
C. hypothesis
D. biconditional

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

A conditional statement is used to state events or results that depend on others. This kind of statements always have two main sections, the first one is the hypothesis or "if" clause that acts as a condition and the second one is the conclusion or result that usually includes the word "then". For example, in "If it rains, then we will not go to the match" the section "if it rains" acts as the hypothesis because if this occurs then the consequence "we will not go to the match" will happen. According to this, the "if" statement in a conditional statement is the hypothesis.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Hypothesis

The entire sentence is called the conditional, while biconditional is also a type of a sentence. The conclusion is the "then" part that comes after.
