Question

Which of the following statements is a conditional statement?

A. Traffic gets heavy.

B. I will carpool with you.

C. If the traffic gets too heavy, then we may be late.

D. I'll pick up Lejla, and then I'll pick up you.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Conditional statements in essence are "if-then" statements. This is commonly represented as

`ptoq` which is read as "if `p`, then `q`".

Our first and second statements are describing one event- there is essentially only one option. The same goes for our last statement. It is describing a sequence. There are no "ifs" or "thens" involved.

C is our conditional statement, because it is constructed like an if-then statement.

Hope this helps!
