Analyzing Textual Evidence 2B: Drawing logical conclusions from text.
Prompt: What can you conclude about the weather effecting the football game?

Example: Due to sever weather, the football game will most likely be cancelled.
Example: The weather will cause the football game to be cancelled.
Example: The football game will be cancelled because of the weather.

Non-example: The weather will cause the football game to be cancelled because hail can be dangerous.
Non-example: It will be cancelled.
