20. Which one of the following passages best suggests an indirect cause?

Question

A. Because the cold front arrived, it snowed.
B. Jack slew the giant because he sold the cow for magic beans.
C. If you mix pleasure and business, business suffers.
D. We've learned that Sally Jones had a child, but who was the father?

I answered B, because the word "he" refers back to Jack. Therefore, an indirect cause is suggested by Jack, when he slew the giant, since he sold the cow for magic beans. Thus, trading the cow for magic beans indirectly led to Jack killing the giant. Is my thinking skewed?

Answer 1

I agree.

Answer 2
