Question

Read the following sentence that contains informational text. Determine which type of word or phrase relationship is being used.

Answer 1

The correct answer is the cause/effect relationship

Explanation:

In the sentence " The roads of New Orleans remained flooded due to the hurricane", the word "due to" shows that the first element "The roads of New Orleans remained flooded" is a consequence of the second element "the hurricane". This means it was the hurricane the one that caused the flood, and in the same way the flood is an effect of the hurricane. In this context, the phrase shows a cause/effect relationship between the flooded roads and the hurricane.
