Statement I: Wildlife sightings have increased in national parks. Statement II: Tourism in these areas has been restricted for several months.
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 is the cause, and Statement I is its effect. Restricting tourism in national parks reduces human interference, which can lead to an increase in wildlife sightings as animals are less disturbed and more likely to be seen. Option A is incorrect because it suggests the opposite relationship, where increased wildlife sightings would lead to restricted tourism, which is not logical. Option C is incorrect because it proposes a separate cause for both events when they are directly related. Option D is incorrect because it suggests no relationship between the statements, which overlooks the logical connection between reduced tourism and increased wildlife visibility.

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.
