Statements (I) The university graduate claims that it is hard to find a job in this era. (II) There is a ratio of unemployment on a large scale
Correct answer: D. Statement II is the cause and Statement I is the effect
- A. Statement I is the cause and Statement II is the effect
- B. Both statements I and II are effects of some common cause
- C. Both statements I and II are effects of independent causes
- D. Statement II is the cause and Statement I is the effect
Explanation
The correct answer is that Statement II is the cause and Statement I is the effect. This is because a large scale of unemployment (Statement II) naturally results in fewer job opportunities, making it harder for individuals, such as university graduates, to find jobs (Statement I).Option A is incorrect because the statement about difficulty in finding a job is a consequence, not a cause.Option B is incorrect because there is no indication of a common cause affecting both statements; instead, Statement II directly results in Statement I.Option C is incorrect because the statements are linked, with Statement II directly influencing Statement I, rather than being independent of each other.

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.
