Let’s go step by step to match each cause with its correct effect.

We need to think: “What happened because of this?” — that’s the effect.

---

1. Cause: The woman locked her keys in the car.
→ What would she do? She’d call someone for help — maybe her husband to bring spare keys.
✔ Match: *She called her husband to bring the spare keys.*

2. Cause: The boy at pancakes with his hands.
→ Eating with hands makes them messy or sticky.
✔ Match: *His fingers got sticky.*

3. Cause: The girl got accepted to two colleges.
→ Now she has to choose one — probably the closest to home if that matters to her.
✔ Match: *She chose the one closest to home.*

4. Cause: The boy ran with his dog every day.
→ Running daily = good exercise = gets in shape.
✔ Match: *He was in very good physical shape.*

5. Cause: The girl never practiced the piano.
→ If you don’t practice, you won’t learn how to play well (or at all).
✔ Match: *She didn’t learn how to play.*

6. Cause: The boy helps out around the house.
→ Helping out makes parents happy and thankful.
✔ Match: *His parents are appreciative.*
