Since the desert air was so dry, the bread quickly turned stale. in this sentence, which word serves as a clue that there is cause and effect? a. so b. stale c. quickly d. since

D. Since

Explanation:

Cause and effect refers to an event which causes another event to occur. In that respect, the conjunction since means because or for the reason that. As a result, the expression since the desert air was so dry implies that the aridity of the air in the desert caused the bread to become dry, hard or no longer fresh.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because so means very or to a great degree, stale is an adjective that means hard, rancid and unpleasant to eat, and the adverb quickly means fast.

i love romeo and xo

it is a!

not b because i don't see how this would make them look dangerous..

not c because that just doesn't make sense..

and not d because this too doesn't make sense, it does not really put the audience on edge in my opinion.

a makes the most sense, romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety. obviously if he says that if he stays, he will be at risk, so of course this makes the audience worry for his safety!

answer is a) romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety.
