Question

15 multiple choice 1 point which of the following situations best shows causation? when the number of mosquitoes increases, the number of tent sales increases. when more blocks are added to a tower, the height of the tower increases. when ski rentals increase, more people are hospitalized for frost bite. when there are fewer lifeguards on the beach, there are fewer shark sightings.

Explanation:

Causation means one event causes another. Adding more blocks directly causes the tower's height to increase. In the other cases, the relationships are likely correlations rather than causation. Mosquito - tent sales may be related to summer activities, ski rentals - frostbite could be due to winter conditions, and lifeguards - shark sightings may have no causal link.

Answer:

When more blocks are added to a tower, the height of the tower increases.
