d No, because the statement and its converse are both false

Answer 1

The statement 'If today is Monday, then yesterday was Sunday' can be written as a biconditional statement because the conditional statement and its converse are both true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'If today is Monday, then yesterday was Sunday' can be written as a biconditional statement. A biconditional statement is a combination of a conditional statement and its converse, and it is only true when both the conditional statement and its converse are true.

In this case, the conditional statement is 'If today is Monday, then yesterday was Sunday' and its converse is 'If yesterday was Sunday, then today is Monday'. Both of these statements are true, as Sunday always precedes Monday. Therefore, the original statement can be written as a biconditional statement.
