Question

1. which shows a cause - and - effect relationship that is described in the passage?

a. jumping gently causes you to bounce only a little.
b. wearing shoes causes you to bounce higher.
c. wind causes the trampoline to move.
d. gravity makes the trampoline push harder.

Explanation:

A cause - and - effect relationship shows how one event (the cause) makes another event happen (the effect). Jumping gently is the cause that leads to the effect of bouncing only a little. Wearing shoes doesn't directly cause bouncing higher in a typical trampoline scenario, wind doesn't cause the trampoline to move in a cause - and - effect way related to normal bouncing, and gravity doesn't make the trampoline push harder in a cause - and - effect relationship for bouncing.

Answer:

a. Jumping gently causes you to bounce only a little.
