LSAT Practice Test

Which term signifies that one factor played a role in the occurrence of another factor?

1. Leads to

2. Played a role in

3. Responsible for

4. Causal term

The correct answer is: Played a role in

The term "played a role in" signifies a cause-and-effect relationship between two factors. Option A, "leads to", simply implies a connection between the two factors but does not specifically state causation. Option C, "responsible for", suggests a direct cause without any further context. Option D, "causal term", is not a commonly used term and does not provide any clarity for the relationship between the two factors.
