To construct a conditional statement based on the Venn diagram you've described, we first need to define the relationships between "red" and "color."
Based on the information given, the correct conditional statement is:
"If it is red, then it is a color."
For the second part, regarding the counterexample for the converse of the original conditional statement ("If it is red, then it is a color"), we need to consider the converse, which would be:
"If it is a color, then it is red."
To write a counterexample for this converse statement, we can select a color that is not red.
The appropriate counterexample could be:
"Blue is a color."
This statement refutes the converse because "blue" is a color but is not red.
