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: Several major logistics hubs have recently removed mandatory safety inspections for transport vehicles to expedite the movement of goods and reduce supply chain backlogs. Statement II: Insurance companies are reporting a significant increase in claims related to mechanical breakdowns and highway accidents involving commercial freight trucks.Solution
Analyze Statement I: This statement identifies a specific policy change—the removal of mandatory safety inspections. This action intentionally prioritizes speed over safety protocols, which acts as a cause. Analyze Statement II: This statement describes the outcome—an increase in accidents and breakdowns. Because the safety checks (the "filter" for problematic vehicles) were removed in Statement I, the logical result is a higher rate of mechanical failures and accidents on the road. This is the effect.
