In the following question, two statements numbered I and II are given. There may be cause and effect relationship between the two statements. These two statements may be the effect of the same cause or independent causes. These statements may be independent causes without saving any relationship. Read both the statements in question and mark your answer as:A. If statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect;B. If statement II is the cause and statement, I is its effect;C. If both the statements I and II are independent causes;D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;E. If both the statements I and II are effects of some common causes;I. It is the aim of the city's civic authority to get the air pollution reduced by 20% in the next two months.II. The number of asthma cases in the city is constantly increasing.
Correct answer: B. B. If statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect;
- A. A. If statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect;
- B. B. If statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect;
- C. C. If both the statements I and II are independent causes;
- D. D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;
- E. E. If both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause;
Explanation
In this question, Statement II suggests an increase in asthma cases in the city, which is likely a health concern prompting action. As a result, Statement I indicates the civic authority's objective to reduce air pollution, which is often linked to respiratory issues like asthma. Therefore, Statement II is the cause (increased asthma cases), leading to Statement I being the effect (the aim to reduce pollution). The other options are less plausible because they assume either no relationship or a different structure of causality that the statements do not support.
