    cases

    Incorrect Answer

    phenomena

    Correct Answer

    accidents

    Incorrect Answer

    possibilities

    Incorrect Answer

    event

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    The usage of the word “event” would be erroneous here as the noun following the word ‘two’ must be in its plural form. It hence eliminates option E.
    Out of the remaining choices, the word “phenomena” which refers to ‘a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question’ is the most suitable pick for the blank.
    Ex. "glaciers are interesting natural phenomena"
    Option B is hence the correct answer.
