The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "If you feel thirsty, then it is hot outside" is the converse of the statement "If it is hot outside, then you feel thirsty," we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Original Statement The original statement is: - If it is hot outside, then you feel thirsty. ### Step 2: Understand the Structure of Conditional Statements A conditional statement has the form "If P, then Q," where: - P is the hypothesis (the part after "if"). - Q is the conclusion (the part after "then"). In our original statement: - P: It is hot outside. - Q: You feel thirsty. ### Step 3: Formulate the Converse Statement The converse of a conditional statement is formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion. Thus, the converse of "If P, then Q" is "If Q, then P." For our original statement: - Converse: If you feel thirsty, then it is hot outside. ### Step 4: Compare the Converse with the Given Statement Now, we compare the converse we formed with the statement given in the question: - Given statement: If you feel thirsty, then it is hot outside. ### Conclusion Since the converse we derived matches the statement given in the question, we can conclude that: - "If you feel thirsty, then it is hot outside" is indeed the converse of "If it is hot outside, then you feel thirsty."
