Cause-effect

This group of signal words best fits cause and effect. First, an event happens then it has an effect on something else. For example, "Because of the rain, I was soaked from head to toe." OR "It rained, therefore I was soaked from head to toe." OR "Since it rained, I was soaked from head to toe." All of these show the cause-effect relationship between the rain and being soaked.

when you say because of or therefore or since you are probably comparing something so i say it would be comparison-contrast
