<u>Some verbs or actions are often associated with specific objects. It depends on the shape of that object, or the movement carried out to use that object.</u> For instance, the verb "stab" is often associated with a knife, if you swing it upside down to drive it into something. The same goes for needle. This object is often associated with the verb "pierce". The needle is a long, narrow and pointed object. Unlike a knife, a needle makes smaller, round holes into something. That is another way to say "pierce". Therefore, the best option is number 2:
Evan used a needle to pierce tiny holes in the fabric. That way, the light would shine through, and it would look like stars in a night sky.
