Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The converse of the statement "If I get a speeding ticket, my parents do not pay for my insurance" is "If my parents do not pay for my insurance, I get a speeding ticket." This is because the converse reverses the order of the hypothesis and conclusion, but also changes their meaning. The converse does not necessarily mean that it is true, just like the original statement does not guarantee that the hypothesis will always lead to the conclusion.
