OG >> Q 19 >> CR

[gunjan.kapil7]

Hi All,

I have question that I need help with.

[deleted because problem is from a banned source - see below]

Strengthen Question.

Conclusion: Negative reactions or Airing controversial report had nothing to do with loss of viewership >> Cause and Effect but with a negative term (confusing)

Airing controversial report had nothing to do >> loss of viewership

Therefore to strengthen it, I should look for options that say, even when the cause didnt happen, the effect did occur.

I have two questions

1. Is my understanding of cause and effect correct? Is the way to look for answer that strengthen the conclusion correct?
2. Was confused between A and D but opted for A with below reasoning. Is it correct?

A >> when the cause did not occur the effect still happened.
D >> cause happened in past but doesnt show if it led to same effect.

Thanks!
