Answer 2

The correct option is if Statement 1 is the effect, Statement 2 is the cause. (option a)

• This relation is from the story "Deep Water" by William Douglas.
• In the scene described, the narrator is pushed into a swimming pool against his will.
• His fear of water kicks in and he starts thrashing about to get out. He tries multiple ways to do so but is unsuccessful.
• Eventually, his legs give out and he loses consciousness.

Statement 1: The author tried his best to jump out of the water.

• This statement is the effect of the narrator's deep-seated phobia of water from when he was a small child.
• When he is pushed into a swimming pool, he panics and tries to jump out of the water.

Statement 2: After a while, the author was not anxious in water.

• This statement is the effect of the narrator losing consciousness because of his multiple attempts to jump out of water.
• When the narrator starts panicking and thrashing in the water, he tires himself out faster and thus faints.

Therefore, the correct option is a) if Statement 1 is the effect, Statement 2 is the cause.
