The document discusses cause and effect relationships. It defines cause as the reason something happened, and effect as the result of what happened. Cause always leads to an effect. Some common signal words that indicate cause and effect are: because, since, as a result of, unless, for this reason, so, this led to, thus, consequently, therefore. Examples are provided of cause-effect pairs linked by signal words like "as a result" and "therefore."
