Answer 1

Answer:

B. As grade point average increases, the number of scholarship

offers increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Causation is the relationship between two variables where one variable causes a change in the other variable

Option A is wrong because a diswasher does not have any effect on DVD collection

Option C is wrong because the number of hours spent reading does not affect the number of points scored by a basketball team

Option D is wrong because the number of cups of coffee consumed does not affect the price of dress

Only option B implies causation

As grade point average increases, more people will be qualified for scholarship. Therefore, the number of scholarship offers increases.
