Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
A cause must precede an effect in time. The answer Following vaccination for varicella, rates of varicella infection are lower best establishes that the suspected cause (vaccination) comes before the observed effect (decrease in varicella infection rates)..

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The statement, Prolonged sun exposure is associated with higher rates of skin cancer best illustrates causality. The other statements involve a greater likelihood that multiple variables could explain the effect, whereas the link between prolonged sun exposure and skin cancer is much stronger.
