Statements (A):
The public sector telecom service provider reduced the monthly rental substantially with immediate effect.
Statements (B):
All the private sector telecom service providers have reduced their charges last week.
Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
Here, it is clear that the event mentioned in (B) happened earlier than the event mentioned in (A).
See the key words ‘last week’ and ‘from immediate effect’. From the two statements it seems that the initiatives taken by the public sector telecom service provider may have been taken in order to compete with the private sector telecom service provider.
Hence, (B) is the cause and (A) its effect.
