need help checking answers Conditional Statements (geometry)

Hey I answered these questions wondering if they are correct.

For questions 1 through 4 your complex statement is "Dogs are mammals."

1- I answered A
1. What is p?

A- Something is a dog
B-Something is a mammal
C-Dog
D-Dogs are
E-are mammals
F-If something is not a dog

2-B
2. What is q?
A-Something is a dog
B-Something is a mammal
C-Mammal
D-Dogs are
E-are mammals
F-If something is not a dog

3.F
3. "If something is not a dog, then it is not a mammal" is the:

A-Contrapositive
B-Converse
C-Statement
D-Counterexample
E-Counterstatement
F-Inverse

4.D

4. ~q => ~p for this statement is:
A-If it is a dog, then it is a mammal.
B-If it is a mammal, then it is a dog.
C-If it is not a dog, then it is not a mammal.
D-If it is not a mammal, then it is not a dog.
E-not dog, not mammal
F-hot dog

On 5 through 7 your complex statement is "If x2>10, then x>0."

5-A

5. "If x > 0, then x^2 > 10" is the:
A-Converse
B-Counterexample
C-Contrapositive
D-Counterpositive
E-Counterintuitive
F-Contrary to popular belief

6-C

6. "If x is not > 0, then x^2 is not > 10" is the:

A-Converse
B-Counterexample
C-Contrapositive
D-Counterpositive
E-Counterintuitive
F-Counter on a web page

7- B

7. "x = - 4" would be an example of a
A-Converse
B-Counterexample
C-Contrapositive
D-Counterintuition
E-Counterpositive
F-Counter

On 8 though 10, the complex statement is "Cars can take you everywhere."

8- A
8. "If it is everywhere, then a car can take you" is the

A-Converse
B-Counterexample
C-Contrapositive
D-Counterintuition

9- D
9. "If it is not everywhere, then a car cannot take you" is the

A-Converse
B-Counterrunner
C-Counterexample
D-Contrapositive
E-Counterpositive
F-Counter

10-D
10. "A car can't take you to the moon" would be the

hi zee-f,

I've been away from home so only just read this. 

I need more information, please.

Do you have definitions for all the types 'contrapositive' etc ?

Bob

I agree with 1A  2B and  4D
