In this task, you will be given two sentences separated by "because". You should decide whether the first sentence can be the result of the second sentence. If you can see a possible cause and effect relationship, answer with "plausible", otherwise answer with "not plausible".
Example: The woman went to the bank because pigs can fly.
Example solution: not plausible
Example explanation: Clearly, there can't be a causation relationship between someone going to the bank and pigs flying.

Problem: the guests of the party hid behind the couch because they thought it would be too late
