MDCAT Logical Reasoning QUESTION #7882
Question 1

Identify the cause-and-effect relationship: i. Sara's productivity at work has significantly decreased. ii. Sara has been experiencing frequent interruptions due to ongoing construction work near her office.

  • Decreased productivity is causing the construction work.
  • Construction work is causing decreased productivity.✔️
  • Productivity was already decreasing before construction.
  • Construction work is unrelated to productivity.
Correct Answer Explanation

The most logical cause-and-effect relationship is that the construction work (cause) leads to interruptions, which then lead to decreased productivity (effect). The other options reverse the causality or deny a relationship.
