Explanation:

To solve the cause - effect matching:

1. For "James is buying a new home", the relevant effect is related to his mother's view on him taking the sculpture as a sign of adulthood in family (James’s mother says it is a sign of adulthood to play a role in a family), because buying a home can be seen as a step towards adulthood and family role.
2. For "James tries to refuse the sculpture", the effect is James wondering if he should have given in to his mother's request, as his refusal leads to his later contemplation.
3. For "James visits his mother and sees the statue", the cause for his mother's action is James’s mother believes it is time for him to take the sculpture, as seeing the statue triggers his mother's belief about him taking it.
