Statement I: A student was awarded the 'Best Innovator' title. Statement II: She created a working model of a low-cost water filter.

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

The correct answer is Option B. Statement II, about the creation of a working model of a low-cost water filter, is the cause, and Statement I, the awarding of the 'Best Innovator' title, is the effect. This is because it is reasonable to assume that the innovation and utility of the model led to the recognition. Option A is incorrect because the award alone would not cause the creation of the model. Option C is incorrect as there is no indication of a separate common cause. Option D is incorrect as the logical connection between the innovation and the award suggests they are 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.
