A result is something that happens or is produced because of an action or event.
The idea
Use a result for one outcome and results for several. The result of the test names what produced it; as a result introduces a consequence.
Examples
- The result of the test is ready.
- We compared the results carefully.
- The report explains the result of the survey.
- The road was closed. As a result, the bus was late.
- Her result improved after practice.
- These results do not prove the cause.
