Solution

Event B states that the sinkhole appeared after two days of heavy rain in a private layout being developed in the area. This heavy rain and construction work in the area led to the weakening of the ground, which caused the sinkhole to form. Event A states that the residents woke up to see a 200-ft-deep sinkhole in their neighborhood. The sinkhole is the immediate and principal cause of the residents' reaction, which is the effect.
