Read all this and think carefully before you choose again.
The set of words that indicates that the author is demonstrating the cause and effect of events is A. So; because; therefore; as a result.
To identify cause and effect in a passage, you can look for words or phrases that suggest a causal relationship between events. In this case, the words "because" and "therefore" explicitly show a cause and effect relationship. The word "so" can also indicate a cause and effect relationship when used in the context of explaining a result or consequence. Similarly, the phrase "as a result" implies that one event is directly causing another event. By analyzing the usage of these words and phrases, you can determine whether the author is explaining cause and effect.
