If an "if P then Q" clause the 'Q' term is called :
Answer: D
In an 'if P then Q' statement, Q is the consequent.
A conditional statement has two parts. The 'if' part, P, is the antecedent: the condition. The 'then' part, Q, is the consequent: what follows if the condition holds. In 'If it rains, the ground gets wet', 'it rains' is the antecedent and 'the ground gets wet' the consequent.
'A conditional' names the whole if-then statement, not one of its terms. 'The antecedent' is P, not Q. 'A connective' is the logical operator linking the parts, here 'if...then'.
