effect in each scenario. The goal is to match the cause with the most logical effect from the given options.
Worksheet Breakdown:
1.
Cause: "The dog saw a squirrel"

- Effect options:
- so they took a Math test.
- so they saw a lion.
Solution Explanation:
#### 1.
Cause: "The dog saw a squirrel"
-
Logical Effect: When a dog sees a squirrel, it is natural for the dog to bark and chase it. This is a typical reaction of curiosity or excitement.
-
Correct Answer: so it barked and chased it.
#### 2.
Cause: "It's Rob's birthday!"
-
Logical Effect: On someone's birthday, it is common for family members, such as a mother, to bake a cake to celebrate. Scolding is not a logical effect of a birthday.
-
Correct Answer: so mom baked a cake.
#### 3.
Cause: "The kids are on a field trip at the zoo"
-
Logical Effect: During a field trip at the zoo, children would likely see animals, such as lions. Taking a Math test is unrelated to being at the zoo.
-
Correct Answer: so they saw a lion.
Final Answers:
1. The dog saw a squirrel → so it barked and chased it.
2. It's Rob's birthday! → so mom baked a cake.
3. The kids are on a field trip at the zoo → so they saw a lion.
