Following instructions means to do what a set of directions tells you to do. In order to follow instructions, you must pay attention to details. A measurement, like 2 cups, tells you how much to use. Information about minutes or hours tells you how long to do something. Pay attention to when things happen. Doing things in a certain order can be very important. Read all information carefully. Do not be afraid to go slowly.

A cause is why something happens.

Read the Passage

Many years ago, a group of people called the Huns attacked China. The Huns wanted to conquer the Chinese. Because the Chinese wanted to protect themselves, they built a huge wall. This wall was 1,500 miles long. As a result of this wall, the Huns were kept out of China. This Great Wall of China is still standing today.

This is the effect.
