Correct answer: A. Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.
- A. Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.
- B. Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect.
- C. Both statements I and II are independent causes.
- D. Both statements I and II are the effects of an independent cause.
Explanation
The correct answer is that Statement II is the cause and Statement I is its effect. The poor quality of education (Statement II) prompted the legal council's decision to shut down the evening colleges (Statement I). This is a direct cause-effect relationship. Option B is incorrect because the decision to shut down cannot cause past quality issues. Option C is incorrect as the two statements are not independent; they are directly related. Option D is incorrect because there is no indication of an external cause leading to both 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.
