The written evidence says the program is 'associated with' improved attendance, but your speech said it 'caused' the improvement. The questioner asks, 'Did you overstate the source?' Which answer is strongest?
A
No. Oral statements can replace the source's actual wording.
B
No. 'Associated with' and 'caused' always mean the same thing.
C
Yes. I should correct that: the study finds an association, not proven causation, so our claim should be limited accordingly.
D
Yes, but I will continue using causal language because it sounds stronger.
