Black people in a little community on the other side of the Day Street Bridge had to walk across the bridge, about half a mile, to get to the bus. Mr. Nixon went down to the bus company to protest. He was always going down to the bus company to protest; sometimes he went by himself, sometimes he took someone with him. He himself did not ride the buses—he had his own car; but he was acting on behalf of the community. The bus company told him that as long as the people were willing to walk the half mile and then pay to ride the rest of the way downtown, they had no need to extend the bus line. Which correctly describes a cause-and-effect relationship in this excerpt?

The answer is:

Cause: People had to walk across a bridge to catch the bus.

Effect: Mr. Nixon protested to the bus company.

Explanation:

A "cause-and-effect" relationship describes the connection between events/situations. It shows how one action/event leads to another action/event.

A "cause" refers to the action/event that led to another action/event. This is the reason why the other action/event occurred.

An "effect" refers to the action/event that happened as a result of the "cause." This is the outcome of the taken action or the event that happened.

So, in the situation above. Mr. Nixon protested to the bus company because the people had to walk across a bridge to catch the bus. He wanted to let the bus company know on behalf of the community. He did this in order to cause a change.

Thus, this explains the answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
