Statement I: A public meeting was canceled last minute. Statement II: The speaker failed to arrive due to flight delays.

- A. I is the cause and II is its effect
- B. II is the cause and I is its effect
- C. Both are unrelated
- D. Both are effects of a common cause
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B. The failure of the speaker to arrive due to flight delays (Statement II) logically leads to the cancellation of the public meeting (Statement I). The other options are incorrect because they either misinterpret the causal relationship or suggest unrelated events without any supporting context.

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.
