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.

Correct answer: D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;
- 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 cause;
Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: Both statements I and II are effects of independent causes. Statement I, 'All has not paid the rent,' and statement II, 'He has not arrived yet,' do not exhibit a direct cause-and-effect relationship. Instead, they both appear as results of different, unrelated circumstances. For instance, not paying the rent could be due to personal financial issues, while the delayed arrival might be due to transportation problems or personal delays. Therefore, each statement arises from separate causes, making Option D the most logical choice. Options A and B incorrectly presume a direct cause-and-effect link. Option C is incorrect as it treats both as causes rather than effects. Option E is incorrect because it suggests a shared cause that is not clear from the 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.
