1. Question : <21{1[1(01)01]}> Since Jessica’s participation in local politics
increased significantly after she joined her school’s political science club, it is clear that her involvement in that club led her to take an interest in politics.

it states that the only purpose of the political science club is to spark an interest in politics.

it’s possible that an interest in politics caused Jessica to join the political science club.

more students may have taken the test in the afternoon than in the morning.
