PC Cause and Effect Answer

In my ASVAB prep course, I review the different types of reading comprehension questions that appear on the Paragraph Comprehension section of the ASVAB.   As an ASVAB tutor, I see the importance of discussing the different approaches to answering the different types of reading comprehension questions that could appear on the ASVAB.  Yesterday I presented a question on cause and effect.  The question asks about the clue words that indicate cause and effect.  Which one do you think is not a clue word indicating cause and effect?

  1. Due to
  2. Therefore
  3. As a result
  4. But

Three of these words indicate cause and effect.  Due to, therefore, and as a result are all clue words that indicate cause and effect.  The word “but” is not a clue word that indicates cause and effect.
