Analyze Statement II: This statement describes a change in policy—specifically, an increase in the financial burden on businesses (tax and compliance costs). This acts as the cause. Analyze Statement I: This statement describes the reaction of the corporations—leaving the city. This is a direct effect of the increased costs mentioned in the first statement. Relationship: Corporations usually move their headquarters to remain profitable. Since the government increased the cost of doing business (Statement II), the corporations decided to leave (Statement I). Therefore, Statement II is the cause and Statement I is its effect.
