Question

Read the excerpt from The Evolution of Useful Things. Fry was committed to his brainchild, however, and he finally convinced an office-supply division of 3M to test-market the product, which "met an unperceived need." Early results were not at all promising, but in those cases where samples were distributed, customers became hooked. Which statement correctly describes the relationship of ideas in this text? The passage of time is signaled by the words "was committed," "he finally convinced," and "samples were distributed." The passage of time is signaled by the words "he finally convinced," "Early results," and "customers became." Cause-and-effect relationships are signaled by the words "however," "he finally convinced," and "customers became." Cause-and-effect relationships are signaled by the words "he finally convinced," "which 'met an unperceived need,'" and "Early results."

Answer 1

Answer:

Cause-and-effect relationships are signaled by the words "he finally convinced," "which 'met an unperceived need,'" and "Early results."

The writer here is describing a chain of events that happened in the past. Therefore, the past tense is being used in this case.

The cause and effect have to complement each other and hence the fourth option seems to be fitting in the best possible manner.
