Explanation:
Let’s go through each question one by one.
Question 1:
*What is the hypothesis in this conditional statement?*
Statement: *If you are hungry, then you will want to eat.*
In a conditional statement “If P, then Q”,
-
P is the
hypothesis (the “if” part),
-
Q is the
conclusion (the “then” part).
Here, “you are hungry” is the part after *If*, so it’s the hypothesis.
✔ Correct answer:
If you are hungry.

Question 2:
*If the hypothesis is ‘I am tired’ and the conclusion is ‘I will want to sleep’, which statement is the converse?*
Recall:
- Original conditional: *If P, then Q*
- Converse: *If Q, then P* — swap hypothesis and conclusion.
Given:
- P = “I am tired”
- Q = “I will want to sleep”
So the converse is: *If I will want to sleep, then I am tired.*
✔ Correct answer:
If I want to sleep, then I am tired.
(Note: The option says “If I want to sleep, then I am tired.” — matches.)

Question 3:
*Biconditional statements use which of the following?*
A biconditional statement is written as “P if and only if Q”, or symbolically P ↔ Q.
It means
both:
- If P, then Q (original conditional), and
- If Q, then P (converse)
So it uses
both the hypothesis and the conclusion, in both directions.
✔ Correct answer:
Both the hypothesis and the conclusion

Final Answer:
1. If you are hungry.
2. If I want to sleep, then I am tired.
3. Both the hypothesis and the conclusion
