Explanation

Statement II states that in the past, the general public did not have access to all the information related to primary education. This sets up the context or background information for the situation.Statement I then states that the government has decided to make all the information related to primary education available to the general public. This decision is a result or effect of the previous lack of access mentioned in Statement II.In other words, the lack of access to information in the past (Statement II) leads to the government's decision to make it available now (Statement I). Therefore, Statement II is the cause, and Statement I is its effect.

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.
