1 answer:

6 0

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The pharynx is what prevents food or liquids from getting into the lungs. The pharynx is the throat where food pass. There is a flap of cartilage that covers the windpipe (trachea) when swallowing occurs, preventing food and liquids from entering the trachea.

State the converse, contrapositive, and inverse of each of these conditional statements a) If it snows tonight, then I will stay

marissa [1.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

For the condition statement $p \rightarrow q$ or equivalent "If p then q"

The rule for Converse is: Interchange the two statements.
The rule for Inverse is: Negative both statements.
The rule for Contrapositive is: Negative both statements and interchange them.

Part (A) If it snows tonight, then I will stay at home.

Here p is If it snows tonight, and q is I will stay at home.

Converse: If I will stay at home then it snows tonight.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: If it doesn't snows tonight, then I will not stay at home.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: If I will not stay at home then it doesn't snows tonight.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$

Part (B) I go to the beach whenever it is a sunny summer day.

Here p is I go to the beach, and q is it is a sunny summer day.

Converse: It is a sunny summer day whenever I go to the beach.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: I don't go to the beach whenever it is not a sunny summer day.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: It is not a sunny summer day whenever I don't go to the beach.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$

Part (C) When I stay up late, it is necessary that I sleep until noon.

P is I sleep until noon and q is I stay up late.

Converse: If I sleep until noon, then it is necessary that i stay up late.

$q \rightarrow p$

Inverse: When I don't stay up late, it is necessary that I don't sleep until noon.

$\sim p \rightarrow \sim q$

Contrapositive: If I don't sleep until noon, then it is not necessary that i stay up late.

$\sim q \rightarrow \sim p$
