cause/effect relationship
The relationship used in the sentence is a cause/effect relationship. The hurricane is the cause and the flooded roads are the effect.
To determine the type of relationship used in the sentence, we need to analyze the sentence structure and the content. In this sentence, "The roads of New Orleans remained flooded due to the hurricane," we can identify a cause and effect relationship. The cause is the hurricane, which leads to the effect of the roads being flooded. Therefore, the correct answer is "cause/effect relationship."
To identify a cause and effect relationship in a sentence, look for indicators such as "because," "due to," "caused by," or "resulted in." In this case, the phrase "due to the hurricane" indicates that the cause (hurricane) led to the effect (flooded roads).
