Answer:

A phrase is an oxymoron if and only if it contains contradictory terms.

Explanation:

A conditional statement is a statement written in the "if-then" form.

The converse of a conditional statement is when the hypothesis and the conclusion is interchanged.

A biconditional statement is a combination of a conditional statement and its converse written in the "if and only if" form.

Given statement:

  • An oxymoron is a phrase that contains contradictory terms.

Conditional: If a phrase is an oxymoron then it contains contradictory terms.

Converse: If a phrase contains contradictory terms then it is an oxymoron.

Biconditional: A phrase is an oxymoron if and only if it contains contradictory terms.
