@Conner Kline In this example, wow would you distinguish between

Most X are (Y and Z) versus most X are Y, most X are Z?

@Kevin Lin I'm a little stuck on the "tend to", so I want to know if there are ways to change Q1 into a causal statement? or Q2 into a non-causal sentence?

E.g., On every high school basketball team, the best players tend to become the most popular people at school.

Children that are given everything they ask for tend to be individuals who are unable to cope with life's challenges?

Thanks for the help!

What is Q1 was phrased as "...., the best players are the most popular"? Would it still be not causal?
