Explanation
The best way to tackle cause and effect questions is to try to merge the two sectences into one using the format: "sentence 1...As a result,...sentence 2. If the new sentence makes sense, then sentence one is the cause and sentence 2 is the effect. So in this case, we could rewrite the two sentences as: "Since Amna's baby died at birth, she wanted another immediately. As a result, Amna abducted an infant and took it out of the hospital." This makes sense. Amna's own child died and as a result she stole another from the hospital. Hence we can say that sentence 1 is the cause, and sentence 2 is the effect.

About Cause and Effect
Cause and effect questions examine whether one event produces another, whether both arise from a common factor, or whether their connection is only coincidental. They involve identifying preceding and resulting events, separating correlation from causation, and judging whether the stated evidence supports a direct, possible or unlikely relationship.
