It says clearly under "affect" that it is altering or changing a situation (or something to that extent). Which is exactly what his sentance is describing. Why would you pick effect? Effect is a noun. You can't noun a noun.

So to speak.

Edit: In response to your last post. It's not like "effecting a change" because that's not what his sentance is saying. His sentance is using situation. A noun.
