Question

How are correlation and causation similar? A. Both help historians avoid writing about history as a narrative. B. Both apply only to the past, not the present or future. C. Both explain connections between multiple events. D. Both describe which event is directly responsible for another.

Answer 1

Both explain connections between multiple events

Answer 2

Correlation and causation both explain connections between multiple events - C. We can call this the correct answer because every causation is in essence a connection at first, but with causation we also know that one variable causes the other. In correlation, on the other hand, we're only talking about connections.
