Now let's decide which sentence is the
cause and which one is the effect.

"Sandra got an A on her exam" is the _________________________________ in this situation.
"She had studied hard the night before" is the ________________________________________.

14. and 15. In the following two statements, please write either "fact" or "opinion" next to each one.

20. Isaiah always believed there was a huge difference between playing in an actual scored game than simply playing in a _______________________________________.


YOUR TURN: Create a fill-in of your own (just like the ones you just solved) for one of your classmate to answer! Be sure you know the answer ahead of time (but do not write the answer on the blank!). Good Luck!
