Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Cause And Effect Worksheets - TheWorksheets.CoM - TheWorksheets Library
Let’s go step by step through each question on the worksheet. The topic is Cause and Effect — that means we’re looking for what *caused* something to happen (the cause) or what *happened because of it* (the effect).

We’ll read each sentence, find the underlined part, and decide if it’s a cause or an effect.

---

Question 1:
> You stayed up late last night so you are feeling tired today.

Underlined: “you are feeling tired today”

Why? Because staying up late → caused → being tired today.

So “feeling tired” is the result → that’s the effect.

Answer: Effect

---

Question 2:
> You didn’t do your homework so your teacher gave you extra work.

Underlined: “your teacher gave you extra work”

Why? Not doing homework → caused → teacher giving extra work.

So “teacher gave extra work” is the result → that’s the effect.

Answer: Effect

Wait — let me double-check.

Actually, in this case:

- Cause: You didn’t do your homework
- Effect: Teacher gave you extra work

The underlined part is “your teacher gave you extra work” → that’s the effect.

But look at the options:
○ Cause
● Effect ← already marked? Wait, no — in the image, some have dots filled in, but we’re solving from scratch.

In Question 2, the underlined part is “your teacher gave you extra work” → definitely the effect.

So answer is Effect

---

Question 3:
> Since you forgot your lunch money, you had to borrow some from your friend.

Underlined: “Since you forgot your lunch money”

“Since” tells us this is the reason → the cause.

Forgot money → caused → borrowing from friend.

So underlined part = cause

Answer: Cause

---

Question 4:
> It rained heavily during recess, so everyone got wet playing outside.

Underlined: “everyone got wet playing outside”

Rain → caused → getting wet.

So “got wet” is the resulteffect

Answer: Effect

---

Question 5:
> Because you studied hard for the test, you got a good grade.

Underlined: “Because you studied hard for the test”

“Because” signals the reason → the cause

Studying hard → caused → good grade.

So underlined part = cause

Answer: Cause

---

Question 6:
> Your dog chewed up your shoes, so now they are ruined.

Underlined: “now they are ruined”

Chewing shoes → caused → shoes being ruined.

So “ruined” is the resulteffect

Answer: Effect

---

Now let’s list all answers clearly:

1. Effect
2. Effect
3. Cause
4. Effect
5. Cause
6. Effect

Wait — let me check again with the actual underlines as shown in the image description.

Looking back at the user’s image text:

Actually, in the original problem set (as typed out):

1. Underline: “you are feeling tired today” → Effect
2. Underline: “your teacher gave you extra work” → Effect
3. Underline: “Since you forgot your lunch money” → Cause
4. Underline: “everyone got wet playing outside” → Effect
5. Underline: “Because you studied hard for the test” → Cause
6. Underline: “now they are ruined” → Effect

All correct.

Final Answer:

1. Effect
2. Effect
3. Cause
4. Effect
5. Cause
6. Effect
