I. George and Lee tried to take steps to improve the relations of both countries. II. The ministers of both countries will work on the plan to improve the relations.
Correct answer: C. Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.
- A. Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect.
- B. Both statements I and II are independent causes.
- C. Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.
- D. Both statements I and II are the effects of an independent cause.
Explanation
In the context of these statements, the chronological order is key. Statement II, which involves a plan by the ministers to improve relations, logically precedes the actions of George and Lee as described in statement I. Therefore, statement II is the cause, and statement I is the effect. The other options are incorrect as they either reverse the cause-effect relationship or treat the statements as independent events, which they are not.

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.
