Cause & Effect

Cause and Effect tests your ability to determine the logical relationship between two given statements. An event (Cause) leads to another event (Effect). Your goal is to identify which statement is the reason and which is the result.
Key Rule: Cause must precede the Effect in logical timing.

1. Direct Cause & Effect: Statement A directly leads to Statement B.
   2. Common Cause: Both statements are effects of a single hidden event.
   3. Independent Causes: Both statements are reasons for different, unrelated events.
   4. Independent Effects: Both statements are results of different, unrelated events.

In most exams, the options are defined as:
(A) I is cause, II is effect.
(B) II is cause, I is effect.
(C) Both are independent causes.
(D) Both are effects of independent causes.
(E) Both are effects of a common cause.
