To correctly set up this problem, you can use the concept of conditional statements. Let's rephrase the statement "If you pass general chemistry, then you can take organic chemistry" as a conditional statement:
If someone passes general chemistry, then they can take organic chemistry.
Now, let's define the variables:
P: Someone passes general chemistry.
Q: Someone can take organic chemistry.
With this, the correct setup for the problem is:
P → Q
P
And you want to determine the conclusion, which is Q.
