Which term is 'what happens as a result of the cause'?

• A. Glossary
• B. Indexes
• C. Cause
• D. Effect

Answer: (D)

Think about cause and effect. A cause is why something happens, while the effect is what happens as a result. If you’re being asked for the term that means “what happens as a result of the cause,” you’re looking for the effect. For example, raining is a cause, and getting wet is the effect. The other terms don’t fit because a glossary is a list of word definitions, an index helps you find topics in a book, and a cause is the reason something happens, not the result.
