Schools are closed and parent's withdrawal is the thing that has to do for something is keep on but here schools are already closed. So both are independent cause & effect.

From my point of view, statement 1 is a cause because the school have been closed most of the time in a week and statement 2 is the effect. So the parents withdrew their children from the school.

Option E should be correct. Closure of schools for a week and parents withdrawing their children. These two events might be due to some common cause e.g. Terrorism, etc.

I. All the schools in the area had to be kept closed for the most part of the week.
II. Many parents have withdrawn their children from the local schools.
Explanation:
I might be the effect of some storm or something, in the AREA, and so all the schools are closed.
II is parents withdrawing children from the LOCAL schools, probably because of low teaching standards.
There is no common ground.
II. Many parents have withdrawn their children from the local schools.

My understanding is that such may not be close just because some parents (not all) withdraw their childs since the structures as well as the teachers are still there and it's not mentioned either the school is private (profit-making) or govt (right of citizens and free in most nations) own as regards to that I conclude by saying statement 2 cannot be the cause of such closure hence option D is my answer.

I feel E should be the answer, as we are talking about a common cause, the words 'in the area' in statement 1 and 'local schools' in statement 2 help us conclude option E.
