question 3 of 10
if there is a correlation between event a and event b, which statement is true?
a. event a would not happen without event b.
b. event b took place before event a.
c. event a gave rise to event b.
d. event b has something in common with event a.

Explanation:

Correlation means a relationship or connection. It does not imply causation (so options A and C which imply a cause - effect relationship are wrong). Correlation also does not imply a time - order (so option B is wrong). If there is a correlation, there is some commonality or relationship between the two events.

Answer:

D. Event B has something in common with Event A.
