Dependent causes/ Independent causes:Statement I: There has been a high increase in the incidents of atrocities against women in the city during the past few months. Statement II: The police authority has been unable to nab the culprits who are committing crimes against women.
Correct answer: B. Statement II is the cause and Statement I is its effect
- A. Statement I is the cause and Statement II is its effect
- B. Statement II is the cause and Statement I is its effect
- C. Both Statement I and II are independent causes
- D. Both Statement I and II are effects of independent causes
Explanation
In this scenario, Statement II, which mentions the police's inability to catch the culprits, serves as a cause that contributes to the rising incidents of atrocities against women described in Statement I. Therefore, it is accurate to say that Statement II is the cause and Statement I is the effect. The other options are incorrect as they misunderstand the relationship between the two statements. Option A incorrectly identifies the cause and effect, Option C suggests both statements are independent causes without interaction, and Option D treats both as outcomes of unrelated factors, which is not supported by the context of the statements.

About Cause and Effect
Cause and effect questions examine whether one event produces another, whether both arise from a common factor, or whether their connection is only coincidental. They involve identifying preceding and resulting events, separating correlation from causation, and judging whether the stated evidence supports a direct, possible or unlikely relationship.
