I. North Korea is protesting with South Korea for firing at their aircraft. II. South Korea Airforce is rightfully aiming for North Korean aircraft flying within the premises.

Correct answer: B. Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.

  • A. Both statements I and II are the effects of independent causes.
  • B. Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.
  • C. Both statements I and II are independent causes.
  • D. Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect.

Explanation

The correct answer is that Statement II is the cause and Statement I is its effect. In the scenario described, South Korea's action of aiming at North Korean aircraft (Statement II) prompts a reaction from North Korea, which is to protest (Statement I). In other words, the protest is a response to the action of aiming. The other options are incorrect because they either suggest independence, which does not apply here, or reverse the cause-effect relationship.

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.
