This is my second attempt at answering this question. I selected B the previous time, and I chose A this time. Even if I'm mistaken again, I'm still thrilled. At the very least, I'm on the correct route and fall into the trap that LSAC has set for me.

Hey guys,

How can we tell the difference between a causal assertion and a “if then” statement?

I chose D by intuition, but I did struggle for a long while.

JY mentions “causation” between using a car phone & pose a threat to safe driving during his explanation.

In essence, if A causes B, then decrease A also decrease the likelihood of B.

Yes, if we explain it in such a manner, then it makes sense to me.

However, I wonder how do we know “using a car phone seriously distracts the driver, which in turn poses a threat to safe driving” is not a “if then” statement?

If using car phone –> pose threat to safe driving

If this is the case, /using car phone does NOT lead to /pose threat to safe driving (the oldest trick in the book)

Lol, I actually assumed "latter" meant works made after the twentieth century.

lol I literally thought "Eschewing" is the person's first name and totally misread the whole sentence.
