Answer 2

Answer:

The author uses cause and effect to show that the tailor's repair causes the bean to have a black line is your answer.

Explanation:

• The association of the two events of the bursting of a happy bean and the tailor traveling on the same path the bean has burst on leads the narration to automatically figure out that the tailor is going to help the bean somehow.
• The compassionate nature of the tailor has been put an emphasis on so as to convey that it was because the tailor was compassionate, the life of the bean was saved.
