The converse of a conditional statement involves switching the order of the antecedent and the consequent of the original statement. 

Option (1) is correct in this case, the converse of the statement "If it is raining, then the streets will be wet" is "If the streets are wet, then it is raining". 

Option (2) is incorrect as this is the contrapositive of the original statement, not the converse. 

Option (3) is incorrect as this is the inverse of the original statement, not the converse. 

Option (4) is incorrect as this statement is not a valid converse because it does not follow the correct order of the antecedent and consequent.
