Problem Explanation:
The task involves understanding the relationship between
cause and
effect. A
cause is the reason why something happens, while an
effect is the result or outcome of that cause. The worksheet provides a list of causes and asks you to choose the most logical effect for each cause.
Steps to Solve:
1.
Identify the Cause: Each row in the table provides a cause (the reason something happens).
2.
Match the Effect: For each cause, select the effect that logically follows from it.
3.
Logical Reasoning: Use common sense and reasoning to determine which effect makes the most sense given the cause.
Solution:
#### 1.
Cause: The dog saw a squirrel
-
Effect: "so it barked and chased it."
-
Reasoning: When a dog sees a squirrel, it is natural for the dog to bark and chase after it as part of its instinctive behavior.
#### 2.
Cause: It's Rob's birthday!
-
Effect: "so mom baked a cake."
-
Reasoning: On someone's birthday, it is common for family members, such as a mother, to bake a cake as a celebration.
#### 3.
Cause: The kids are on a field trip at the zoo
-
Effect: "so they saw a lion."
-
Reasoning: If children are on a field trip at the zoo, it is logical that they would see animals like lions during their visit.
Final Answer:
-
The dog saw a squirrel →
so it barked and chased it.
-
It's Rob's birthday! →
so mom baked a cake.
-
The kids are on a field trip at the zoo →
so they saw a lion.
Boxed Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
