What logical relationship is described by "It is snowing only if it is cold" in the text?

  1. Biconditional

  2. Conditional

  3. Negation

  4. Conjunction

The correct answer is: Conditional

The logical relationship described by "It is snowing only if it is cold" is a conditional statement. In a conditional statement, the first part (before "only if") is the sufficient condition, and the second part (after "only if") is the necessary condition. In this case, "it is snowing" is the necessary condition, and "it is cold" is the sufficient condition. This means that if it is snowing, then it must be cold.
