The correct statement about this chain of events is:
**The force of the finger causes the books to accelerate and fall.**
This statement correctly describes the cause-and-effect relationship between the action (the force applied by the finger) and the resulting motion (the acceleration and subsequent falling of the books).
**The force of the finger causes the books to accelerate and fall.**
