Read this passage and identify one example of correlation. also explain why the example you have chosen does not represent causation. health officials believe all people should begin composting — saving vegetable and other organic waste rather than throwing it away in the trash. the compost can then be used to fertilize gardens, which will increase the output of each garden and lower grocery bills. trash bills will also be lower, since there won't be as much trash to be hauled away each week.

An example could be that composting and lower trash bills would be an example of a correlation. Causation refers to one thing directly causing the other to occur, and the last sentence doesn't make any sense out of context with the passage.

Composting won't lower trash bills, there are many other factors that go into gardening other than composting. Including what a person grows and the climate they live in. Hardly anyone has enough land to grow enough food to really reduce the amount of food they need to buy.

Correlation but not causation.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
