Hint #1Look for key words that show cause/effect relationship.
Sometimes there will be a cause/effect relationship, and these words will not be used.
When you can´t find the key word, then the relationship is “implied”.
![Page 5: CAUSE AND EFFECT](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56815f82550346895dce8931/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Key words hint #1For this reason
In response to
Resulted in
Therefore
Word “cause”
Word “effect”

Hint #2If possible try to replace the cause/effect relationship words so that you can use the word “because”.
The most important linking word is the word “because”.
If you can change our sentences around so their meaning doesn´t change and you can add “because” to the events, you can probably have the correct cause/effect answer.

Adding Because Hint#2Ex. Alex didn`t study for his test. He knew that he had to pass the test. Alex wasn`t surprised when he failed the test.
Ales failed his test because he didn’t study.
Cause: He didn´t study
Effect: He failed the exam.

Hint#3Ex. Ben was running late for school, but it was a beautiful morning, so he wanted to walk. Ben saw his neighbor chasing his wild, little puppy. Ben knew he had to help.
Why was Ben late? (effect)
1st Cause: He walked to school.
2nd Cause: He helped his neighbor.
Both of these are events/causes

Hint#4
Sometimes cause/effect linking words are “understood”.
This happens when writers leave out key words that define a cause/effect relationship.
Sometimes cause/effect relationships are only “implied” and must be inferred by the reader (look for details and use logical reasoning or common sense).

Hint#4Ex. Kate got up early enough to get ready for school, but she knew she didn`t do her English homework. She dreaded going because her teacher would be very disappointed.
Why would Kate not go to school)
It is implied that she would not go to school (effect) since she didn`t turn in her English homework.

Hint#5Avoiding Post Hoc Reasoning:
Do not assume that just because even A precedes event B, event A caused even B. This illogical assumption is called post hoc reasoning. This error leads you to confuse coincidence with causality.
Do not confuse words like because, therefore and consequently (indicating a causal relationship), with words like subsequently, later, and afterward (chronological relationship words)
