Question

A mother notices that all of her young children have come back from the park soaking wet. She looks outside and notices that it is raining lightly. She concludes that her children must have gotten wet because of the rain. Which of the following, if true, would suggest that the rain and her children's wet clothes are correlated, but do not have a causal relationship?
A. The children did not wear raincoats or boots when they went to the park.
B. The children had continued to play at the park for hours after the rain started.
C. The children do not like to get their clothing wet and avoid playing in the rain.
D. The children had been spraying one another with a hose before the rain started.

Answer 1

The answer is:

D. The children had been spraying one another with a hose before the rain started.

If the kids were playing with the hose before the rain even started they already were wet, this means that the wet clothes and the rain are correlated, but are not causal.
