Statement I: A cricket match was rescheduled. Statement II: Heavy rainfall flooded the stadium.
Correct answer: B. II is the cause and I is its effect
- A. I is the cause and II is its effect
- B. II is the cause and I is its effect
- C. Both are effects of a common cause
- D. Both are unrelated
Explanation
Statement II states that heavy rainfall flooded the stadium, which logically leads to the action described in Statement I: rescheduling the cricket match. This makes Statement II the cause and Statement I the effect. Option A is incorrect because the rescheduling did not cause the flooding. Option C is incorrect as there is no evidence of a common cause. Option D is incorrect because the statements are logically related.

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.
