To determine

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.
