Cause & Effect — Policy choreography around an investor summit. I. The Chief Minister exhaustively prepared the state capital (beautification, readiness) to welcome investor-summit delegates. II. The state aims to attract industrial investment to foster industrial culture and generate jobs.

Introduction / Context:Statements describe a strategic objective (II) and a preparatory action (I). The question is whether the goal to attract investment drives the visible administrative actions ahead of the summit.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• II: Attract industry and jobs via investment.
• I: Intensive city readiness to host delegates (an enabling signal).
• Summits showcase readiness to potential investors.

Concept / Approach:Objectives (II) motivate actions (I). Prepping the capital is an effect in service of the aim of courting investors.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:If there were no investor objective, such extensive prep would be less justified.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:A reverses causality; C/D claim independence; the pair is clearly linked.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing policy goals with the public-facing operational steps that serve them.

Final Answer:if statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.
