Determine which of the given headlines suggest the cause and effect relationship and which does not.
Answer to Problem 1SE
The headline A suggests the cause and effect relationship and the headline B doesn’t.
Explanation of Solution
The given two headlines are,
Headline A: ‘Dairy Builds Muscle’.
Headline B: ‘People Who Consume More Products Tend to Have More Muscle’.
Headline A says that consuming dairy products will result in building muscles that means there is a cause and effect relationship between dairy products and building muscles. Whereas, headline B says that there is a positive correlation between consumption of dairy products and building muscles that means, if someone consumes more dairy products, he/she tends to build more muscles, but the statement does not say anything about causation.
Thus, headline A has the language that suggests the cause and effect relationship, but headline B does not.
