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 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.

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.

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