From my point of view the withdraw of the students from the school may be because the school remain closed for most part of the week.

I think option E is correct, Because there would be a common cause for the closing of school for a week and the withdrawal of students.

Option E can also be the right answer. Some disaster could have occurred causing both statements to occur. Both have a common cause.

In case of (I) all the school in a certain area are closed, the reason may be some disaster or very cold or hot days of year.
In case of (II) many parents withdrawn their children from local schools in which the standards of education is not so good to meet the future requirement of child or there are lack of good teachers in the school.
It is also clear for not relation of two statements are that in (I) all the school and in (II) local schools only.
So, Both the statement are effect of independent cause.

Yes I also agree and there is also a possibility that as both situations have occurred in a particular locality so there can also b a single cause i.e. some terrorism etc in the locality, for both the effects.

Yes, there is a chance that people might have withdrawn their children because the school was shutdown for a week, but still there would be a reason for the school being shutdown and so that makes it the ultimate reason, for the two events that happened. So even if it is a chain incident the immediate cause for the withdrawal would be the closure of the school.
So I agree with Deepak.
So I agree with Deepak.
