Determine Causes and Consequences

There are several consequences of the cold Canadian winter. The analysis of document 1 gives you clues to identify the consequence. This document shows a person dressed warmly with a coat and a toque. The consequence of the cold temperatures has to do with clothing. The consequence identified is that cold weather in the winter causes people in Canada to dress warmly.

A carrot is a plant. Typically, a seed must be put in the ground for a plant to develop and grow. Document 2, showing a hand placing seeds in the ground, depicts this.

Document 1 shows a person harvesting carrots. Before a carrot can be harvested, a seed must be planted and it must grow. So document 1 cannot come before document 2.

The answer is that document 2 is the cause of the event, a carrot growing in a garden, and document 1 is the consequence of that same event.

Document 1 shows a sharp object (indicated as a nail) on the road. Document 2 shows a dirt road and document 3 shows a paved road.

Of the three items shown, the one most likely to cause a flat tire is the sharp object on the road. So the answer to the statement is document 1.

Statement: Two of the four documents below present the consequences of the sedentarization of populations. Identify which two.

What must I do? I must identify two documents among the four.

What must I identify? The two documents present advanced technologies that are the consequences of the sedentarization of populations.

I know that the pottery technique is a development that appeared after sedentarization and that it was a useful way to easily cook food or store it.

I know that the technique of stone cutting was known and used long before the sedentarization of populations.

I know that shelters made of bone and animal skins were used long before the sedentarization of populations.

I know that weaving is a technical advance that appeared after sedentarization. One of its benefits was that it enabled the use of vegetable fibres to replace animal skins to make clothing.

The two documents showing the technical advances resulting from the sedentarization of populations are document 1 and document 4.

Statement: “Of the following documents, identify which document presents a cause and which one presents a consequence of Jacques Cartier’s explorations in Canada.”

What must I do? Identify a cause and a consequence of Jacques Cartier’s explorations in Canada

What must I use? Two of the three documents

I know that France wanted to discover new riches and that to do so, it had to send an explorer.

I know that Jean-François de La Rocque de Roberval participated in the third voyage to Canada.

I know that after exploring Canada twice, Jacques Cartier tried to establish a settlement there.

Among the following documents, identify which one presents a cause and which one presents a consequence of Jacques Cartier’s explorations in Canada.

Document 1 shows one of the causes of Jacques Cartier’s explorations in Canada, as it discusses the reasons why the King of France was interested in America. Document 3 shows a consequence of Cartier’s explorations, as it shows the establishment of a settlement in Canada.

The fact that Jean-François de La Rocque de Roberval was the commander of the third expedition is not a cause of Jacques Cartier’s explorations nor is it a consequence. As such, document 2 is put aside.
