Comprehension—Cause and Effect--RIT 211 - 220
Read the paragraph.

will be measured. It built as it came. In the stillness before it hit, men looked at each other. They
felt the trees falling before they heard the wind. The first blow bent trees half to the ground; the
second caught them and snapped them like kindling. Bawling cattle ran the fences, and a loose
lawnmower went bumping across a lawn. The big trees went down screaming, taking out roofs and
electric wires.
Which is not an effect of the stated cause?
a. | trees
fell | c. | cattle got
loose | b. | people panicked | d. | roofs and electric wires were
damaged |
