Let’s go step by step to match each cause with its correct effect.
We are looking for what happens *because* of each event on the left.
1.
Mom locked the car door.
→ If the car door is locked, you can’t get inside.
So this matches:
We couldn’t get in side.
2.
The students were too noisy.
→ When students are too loud, teachers often turn lights off and on to get attention.
So this matches:
The teacher turned the lights off and on.
3.
There was ice on the step.
→ Ice makes things slippery. Someone could slip. The name “Sam” appears in one effect — so likely Sam slipped.
So this matches:
Sam slipped.
4.
Roberto ate too many jellybeans.
→ Eating too much candy can make your stomach hurt.
So this matches:
He got a belly ache.
5.
She ran a marathon.
→ Running 26 miles is very hard — it would make someone very tired.
So this matches:
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 causes have logical effects that follow from them.
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.
