Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFCause:
Many people in City X have reported receiving two electricity bills this month, instead of one.
Effect I:
The Electricity Board has published the details of areas where power shutdowns are expected tomorrow in City X.
Effect I is not a direct effect of the cause. Power shutdowns are often planned maintenance or due to other issues, not necessarily related to billing errors.
Effect II:
The municipal commissioner of City X has clarified that the technical glitch which led to multiple electricity bills being generated would be resolved within 48 hours.
Effect II is a direct effect of the cause. The clarification from the municipal commissioner directly addresses the issue of multiple bills and assures a resolution.
Effect III:
Long queues were seen outside the electricity board offices in many localities.
Effect III is a likely effect of the cause. People receiving multiple bills are likely to visit the electricity board offices to inquire and resolve the issue, leading to long queues.
Conclusion:
Effect II and Effect III are possible effects of the given cause.
Hence, the answer is the option that includes both Effect II and Effect III.
