In other words, whether one happens has no impact on whether the other occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s analyze each option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A. The school play opens tonight and it is raining.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>These are two completely separate events: the opening of the school play and the weather.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The weather (rain) has no bearing on whether the play will open (assuming it&#8217;s not an outdoor event).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>These events are independent.<\/strong><br>\u2705 <strong>Correct Answer<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B.
