Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To establish an illusory correlation, we need to notice instances where two events seem to be related but are not actually causally linked. In this case, joint pain and rainy weather are not necessarily connected but it is easy to think there is a relationship between the two. To establish this illusory correlation, we would notice instances where both events occur together (it is raining and there is joint pain). Choice A is the best option as it describes the instances that are most likely to reinforce the idea of a correlation between joint pain and rainy weather.
