Question

What happens when a strong base is added to a weak acid solution?I want to know if :1) The weak acid gives up H+ ions or2) The hydroxide ion from the strong base is converted to water or if it can do both

Answer 1

In a weak acid solution, although it is weak, the acid gives up some H⁺. A strong base will dissociate almost completely when add and its OH⁻ will neutralize the H⁺ in solution, converting into water.

Depending on the concentrations of both, after the addition the weak acid can still give up H⁺.

This means that both 1 and 2 are happening in the solution, so the answer is both.
