Statement I: The new school curriculum includes digital literacy. Statement II: Students spend more time online for education.

Correct answer: A. I is the cause and II 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 A: I is the cause and II is its effect. The introduction of digital literacy in the school curriculum is designed to equip students with necessary skills, which naturally leads them to spend more time online for educational purposes. Option B is incorrect as it suggests a reverse causation that lacks contextual support. Option C is incorrect because it implies a third factor led to both outcomes, which is not indicated by the statements. Option D is incorrect as it overlooks the logical linkage between the curriculum change and the increased online engagement.

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.
