Document Summary

Before writing a cause and effect argument, understand the nature of the cause and effect relationships single event or situation: can have many possible results, not all of these will be equally significant. Main and contributory causes in cause and effect arg, focus on identifying the cause you believe is the most important: and present arguments to convince readers why that is the most important. Meanwhile, the less important causes are contributory causes. Immediate and remote causes since the most important cause is not necessarily the most obvious one, identifying the main cause of an effect is challenging. The most obvious cause immediate cause: the one that occurs right before an event. However, this immediate cause may be less important than one or more remote causes: factors that occurred further in the past but may have had a greater impact. Also, use phrases like (cid:498)consequently(cid:499) and (cid:498)as a result(cid:499) And terms like (cid:498)cause, effect, outcome, result(cid:499)
