Which phrase represents a causal term?

  1. was a factor in

  2. Some professors at the school teach Spanish.

  3. Two types of Conclusions

  4. Define Assertion of Truth

The correct answer is: was a factor in

A causal term expresses a cause and effect relationship between two events or actions. Out of the given choices, only 'A was a factor in' clearly conveys this relationship and can be considered a causal term. Option B simply states a fact without any inference of causation. Option C does not refer to any cause or effect. Option D focuses on defining a term rather than expressing a causal relationship. Therefore, A is the most appropriate answer for a causal term.
