Understanding Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

What is the converse of the statement: 'If it is raining, then the grass is wet'?

• If the grass is wet, then it is raining.

• If it is raining, then the grass is not wet.

• If it is not raining, then the grass is not wet.

• If the grass is not wet, then it is not raining.
