A student wants to write about how poor study habits can lead to bad grades. Which organizational aid would be most useful?

The student wants to show how several poor study habits can contribute to one result: bad grades. An aid that lists many causes leading to one effect directly organizes that relationship, so the best choice is “an aid listing many causes to one effect.” A timeline is more useful when the order of events over time matters.
