Let’s go step by step to match each cause with its correct effect.
We have 5 causes on the left and 5 effects on the right. We need to think: “What happens because of this?” for each one.
---
1. Mom locked the car door.
→ If the car door is locked, you can’t get inside unless you unlock it.
So the effect should be:
We couldn't get in side. (Note: It says “in side” — probably meant “inside”)
✔ Match: Mom locked the car door → We couldn't get in side.
---
2. The students were too noisy.
→ When students are too loud in class, what does the teacher do? Often, they turn lights off and on to get attention.
So the effect should be:
The teacher turned the lights off and on.
✔ Match: The students were too noisy → The teacher turned the lights off and on.
---
3. There was ice on the step.
→ Ice is slippery. If someone walks on it, they might slip.
Looking at the options:
Sam slipped. fits perfectly.
✔ Match: There was ice on the step → Sam slipped.
---
4. Roberto ate too many jellybeans.
→ Eating too much candy can make your stomach hurt.
So the effect should be:
He got a belly ache.
✔ Match: Roberto ate too many jellybeans → He got a belly ache.
---
5. She ran a marathon.
→ A marathon is very long and hard. After running one, you’d be exhausted.
So the effect should be:
She was very tired.
✔ Match: She ran a marathon → She was very tired.
---
Now let’s double-check all matches:
- Mom locked the car door → We couldn't get in side. ✔️
- The students were too noisy → The teacher turned the lights off and on. ✔️
- There was ice on the step → Sam slipped. ✔️
- Roberto ate too many jellybeans → He got a belly ache. ✔️
- She ran a marathon → She was very tired. ✔️
All matches make logical sense.
Final Answer:
Mom locked the car door → We couldn't get in side.
The students were too noisy → The teacher turned the lights off and on.
There was ice on the step → Sam slipped.
Roberto ate too many jellybeans → He got a belly ache.
She ran a marathon → She was very tired.
