Answer 3

I agree with you on 1, 3, and 4. I'm not sure about 2. How does your text define those three possibilities?

Answer 4

Causality (also referred to as causation is the relation between an event the cause and a second event the effect, where the second event is understood as a consequence of the first.

In common usage, causality is also the relation between a set of factors (causes) and a phenomenon (the effect). Anything that affects an effect is a factor of that effect. A direct factor is a factor that affects an effect directly, that is, without any intervening factors. (Intervening factors are sometimes called "intermediate factors".) The connection between a causes and an effect in this way can also be referred to as a causal nexus.

Though the causes and effects are typically related to changes or events, candidates include objects, processes, properties, variables, facts, and states of affairs; characterizing the causal relation can be the subject of much debate.

Answer 5

Causality is involved in your answer for #4, and you're correct on that one.

This is the question I'm asking about. How is your text defining the three answer possibilities here:
