Question

12. Which one of the following words or phrases may be a clue that a sentence is inferring cause and effect? A. Instead of B. Before C. Consequently D. On the other hand

Answer 1

C. Consequently

For instance, I ran and decided to cross the street without looking. Consequently, I caused a car crash. (I really didn't do this.)

The word consequently allows an action or decision to be added on after someone or something did something. The action or decision added on will always describe what that someone or something did. In essence, a cause and effect sentence. Hope this helped!
