Vocabulary question no. 30 - consequences and implications
Dear All,
The question concerns the word: implications
Let's consider and example: growth. The word is used in many societal, economic, deomographic, and environmental contexts, including gworth of economy, growth of the population, growth of impervious surfaces, growth of food production, and growth of energy use. Assessing the impact of growth requires an understanding of a few simple equations such as the compound interest equation. You must be able to use it accurately and understand its implications.
The question from a book on TOEFL is: The word implications in Paragraph 9 is closest in meaning to:
A. reasons
B. background
C. consequences
D. methods
My guess was C... and according to the key, it's wrong. The book says it should be D.
I'm trying to figure out the difference between consequences and implications and why it should be methods.

Hmm... Thanks Clive.
I think we can say:
The consequences of an attack on Syria will be...
but somehow this one doesn't sound right:
The implications of an attack on Syria will be...

I think we can say:
The consequences of an attack on Syria will be... Yes.
but somehow this one doesn't sound right:
The implications of an attack on Syria will be... Sounds fine to me.
My newspaper today spent many pages speculating on

Thanks Clive.
Would you say that 1) a consequence is more concrete than an implication and 2) a consequence follows an action whereas an implication preceeds it?

and 2) a consequence follows an action Yes
whereas an implication preceeds it? I'd hesitate to say that so simply. eg One action can imply another a
