This Grade 7 worksheet focuses on enhancing students' reading comprehension skills by exploring cause and effect relationships. In this worksheet, students analyze a passage about the water shortage in Green Park Colony, understanding the causes like poor rainfall and misuse of water, and their effects like water scarcity and the residents' actions to solve the problem.
The exercises include multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blanks, true/false statements, and more to help students understand the link between causes and their effects. By analyzing the steps the residents took to solve the problem, students gain a better understanding of how cause and effect structures function in real-life situations.

"The **cause** of poor **rain** led to water **shortage**. The lack of proper **water** and **rain** resulted in significant challenges, including **water** shortages and low water levels in reservoirs. However, taking **action** measures, such as setting up rainwater harvesting systems, and using rainwater as a **solution** brought **improvement** and significantly improved the situation. By collecting rainwater during the **rain** season, it provided communities with a **water** source of water, reducing their dependence on traditional water supply methods. This approach not only alleviated **shortage** but also promoted **water** and **rain** water conservation efforts."
Cause-effect text structure explains how one event leads to another, helping students grasp logical connections in the text.
Look for cause-related words such as “because,” “resulting in,” or “consequently.”
It helps students recognize relationships between events and better understand the sequence of actions in a story.
