Problem Overview:
The task involves identifying the
cause and
effect relationships between given events. You need to match each cause (left column) with its corresponding effect (right column) and then fill in a table with these pairs.
Steps to Solve:
1.
Understand Each Cause:
- Read each statement in the left column (causes) carefully.
2.
Match with Effects:
- Identify which statement in the right column (effects) logically follows each cause.
- The relationship should be clear and make sense in terms of cause-and-effect logic.
3.
Fill in the Table:
- Write the matched pairs in the provided table, with causes on the left and effects on the right.
---
Solution:
#### Matching Causes with Effects:
1.
Cause: "Since the students were quiet in class"
-
Effect: "the teacher gave them a reward."
-
Reasoning: If students are quiet in class, it is logical that the teacher would reward them for good behavior.
-
Match: 1 → D
2.
Cause: "Joshua didn’t get his gift on his birthday"
-
Effect: "because the mail was late."
-
Reasoning: If Joshua didn’t receive his gift, it could be because the mail delivery was delayed.
-
Match: 2 → E
3.
Cause: "Lucy’s shoes weren’t tied,"
-
Effect: "so she fell down."
-
Reasoning: Untied shoes can lead to someone falling down, as they might trip or lose balance.
-
Match: 3 → A
4.
Cause: "She was hungry at lunch"
-
Effect: "because Lydia skipped breakfast."
-
Reasoning: Skipping breakfast can lead to feeling hungry later in the day, such as during lunch.
-
Match: 4 → B
5.
Cause: "The horses were thirsty"
-
Effect: "because it was very hot outside."
-
Reasoning: Hot weather can cause animals (like horses) to become dehydrated and thirsty.
-
Match: 5 → C

Filling in the Table:
Now, write the matched pairs in the table:
|
CAUSE |
EFFECT |
|------------------------------------|--------------------------------|
| Since the students were quiet in class | the teacher gave them a reward. |
| Joshua didn’t get his gift on his birthday | because the mail was late. |
| Lucy’s shoes weren’t tied, | so she fell down. |
| She was hungry at lunch | because Lydia skipped breakfast. |
| The horses were thirsty | because it was very hot outside. |

Final Answer:
\boxed{
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{CAUSE} & \textbf{EFFECT} \\
\hline
