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 result → effect
✔ 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 result → effect
✔ Answer: Effect
---
