Can one say a. He is not in the basement, because I looked. b. He is not home, because all the lights are off. c. He is not home, because he is not answering his phone. ?
The 'because' phrase in each of them means, more or less, 'I say that because...'.
He is not in the basement. I say that because I looked.
