1 and 2 both signal a cause an effect relationship because they infer that something happened that is leading to what was caused or what is about to happen

Answer:

2. This led to

Step-by-step explanation:

This phrase implies that the previous event was the cause of the second. The other phrases only state that something happened after a previous event.
