A.John gets at least a C and passes
B.John does not get a C and passes
C.John gets at least a C and does not passUnder what condition is the conclusion of the following statement false, even though the hypothesis is true?
In a conditional statement
';If P then Q';
the if-part (P) is called the hypothesis, and
the then-part (Q) is called the conclusion.
In your conditional statement,
(P) ';John gets at least a C';
is the hypothesis, and
(Q) ';John passes';
is the conclusion.
So you are asking which choice will make Q false even though P is true.
The correct choice is C.
Also, C is the only choice that makes the
whole conditional ';If P then Q'; false.Under what condition is the conclusion of the following statement false, even though the hypothesis is true?
A is correct, it is the hypothesis.
B is correct, we are not given information on what happens if he passes the class, only if he gets a C or higher, he could, for example, have gotten all As and only needed a D.
C is incorrect, it violates the hypothesis.
Seems to me that C is the condition.
