Dependent causes/ Independent causes:
Statement 1: A large number of people living in the low-lying areas has been evacuated during the last few days to safer place.
Statement 2:The government has rushed in relief supplies to the people living in the affected areas.
Select the correct option.
- A
Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect.
- B
Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect
- C
Both the statements I and II are independent causes
- D
Both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause
Both 1 and 2 are effect of some common cause.
Both statements describe the effects of a common cause, which is likely a natural disaster or severe weather event that is affecting the low lying areas.
Thus, both are the effects of that natural calamity.
Option a) Statement I is the cause, and statement II is its effect.
Explanation: This option suggests that Statement 1 (evacuation of people from low-lying areas) is the cause, and Statement 2 (government rushing relief supplies) is its effect. In other words, the evacuation of people is leading to the government providing relief supplies.
Option b) Statement II is the cause, and statement I is its effect.
Explanation: This option suggests that Statement 2 (government rushing relief supplies) is the cause, and Statement 1 (evacuation of people from low-lying areas) is its effect. In other words, the government providing relief supplies is leading to the evacuation of people from low-lying areas.
Option c) Both the statements I and II are independent causes.
Explanation: This option suggests that both Statement 1 (evacuation of people from low-lying areas) and Statement 2 (government rushing relief supplies) are independent causes. It means that these two events are happening separately and are not directly related to each other as cause and effect.
Both 1 and 2 are effect of some common cause.
Both statements describe the effects of a common cause, which is likely a natural disaster or severe weather event that is affecting the low lying areas.
