Question 3 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II A

Given the statement "If there is a lightning storm, then we won’t go swimming,” which is the contrapositive?

Answer
A
If there is not a lightning storm, then we will go swimming.
B
If there is not a lightning storm, then we won’t go swimming.
C
If we go swimming, then there will not be a lightning storm.
D
If we don’t go swimming, then there will be a lightning storm.

Explanation

A contrapositive reverses the hypothesis and conclusion and negates both. Starting with “If there is a lightning storm, then we won’t go swimming,” this becomes “If we go swimming, then there is not a lightning storm.” That is choice C.
