  • B. Both of the statements are independent.
  • C. Statement II is the cause and I is the effect.
  • D. Both statements are the effects of some common cause.

Explanation

Based on the given statements: Statement I: The children are being aggressive today. Statement II: There is no specific limit for children to use mobile screens. It is not clear that either statement is the cause and the other is the effect. Also, there is no evidence provided in the statements to establish a clear cause-and-effect relationship between them. Therefore, we cannot determine a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the two statements. Additionally, both statements appear to be independent of each other, as there is no apparent link or logical connection between children being aggressive and the absence of a specific limit for children to use mobile screens The given information does not support any specific cause-and-effect relationship between the two statements or the existence of a common cause affecting both of them. Therefore, the correct answer is: Both of the statements are independent.

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.
