Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a causal chain, each event is caused by the previous event in the sequence. This means that there is a clear cause-and-effect relationship between each event, and the chain is constructed in a linear sequence. Choice B is incorrect because not all events in the sequence are caused by one initial cause, and choice C is incorrect because a causal chain by definition has a cause-and-effect relationship between events. Choice D is not necessarily true because there may be breaks or gaps in the chain.
