Question
In the question below, two statements (I) and (II) are
given. These statements may be either independent causes or may be effects of independent causes or a common cause. One of these statements may be the effect of the other statement. Read both the statements and decide which of the following answer choices correctly depicts the relationship between these two statements. Statement I: The municipal authority has announced a 50% increase in the frequency of public buses during peak morning and evening hours. Statement II: A major bridge on the city's main arterial road has been closed for emergency repairs for the next three months.Solution
Analyze Statement II: The closure of a major bridge (the cause) will lead to significant traffic congestion and difficulty for commuters using private vehicles. Analyze Statement I: To mitigate the chaos and provide an alternative for the stranded commuters, the municipal authority reacts by increasing the frequency of public transport (the effect). Relationship: The emergency repair/closure of the bridge is the direct reason why the authority had to increase the bus frequency. Therefore, Statement II is the cause and Statement I is its effect.
