Statement I: The local meteorological department issued a heavy rainfall and severe storm alert for the coastal district.
Statement II: The district administration ordered all schools and colleges in the coastal area to remain closed for two days.
Which of the following statements regarding the logical relationship between Statement I and Statement II are correct?
- Statement I functions as the primary cause, and Statement II is its direct effect.Cevap
- BStatement II functions as the primary cause, and Statement I is its direct effect.
- Statement II represents an administrative precautionary response directly triggered by the event in Statement I.Cevap
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are effects of completely independent causes.
Cevap
The correct statements are that Statement I functions as the cause while Statement II is its direct effect, and Statement II represents an administrative precautionary measure directly triggered by Statement I.
An official storm alert logically prompts administrative bodies to execute safety protocols like closing schools. Therefore, Statement I acts as the primary cause while Statement II serves as its direct administrative effect.
