The true statement "If x is a rational number and y is a rational number, then the sum of x and y is a rational number" is often confused with the converse "If the sum of x and y is a rational number, then x is a rational number and y is a rational number." In this case, the converse is not always true. Which statement is false? A) If the sum of x and y is a rational number, then x must be a rational number. B) If x = 3.5 and y is a whole number, then the sum of x and y must be a rational number. Eliminate C) If x is an even integer and y is an odd integer, then the sum of x and y must be a rational number. D) If the sum of x and y is a rational number, then x may be a rational number or x may be an irrational number.
