1. **Which relationship does NOT also reflect causation?**
- **Answer:** When basketball players spend more time in uniform, they score more points.
- **Reasoning:** The time spent in uniform may not directly cause players to score more points; it could simply be correlated with other factors like practice or game opportunities.

3. **Which relationship also reflects causation?**
