Correct answer: B. statement 2 is the cause and 1 is its effect

  • B. statement 2 is the cause and 1 is its effect
  • C. both statements are independent causes
  • D. both statements are of common cause

Explanation

c) Both statements are independent causes.This option suggests that both statement 1 and statement 2 are independent causes, meaning they are unrelated to each other. According to this option, the person may have a cavity in his tooth for reasons other than eating chocolates excessively. Additionally, the person's habit of eating too much chocolate may not necessarily cause the cavity. Therefore, the two statements are considered independent causes in this option.

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.
