C. The author uses cause and effect to show that the tailor's repair causes the bean to have a black line.
D. The author uses problem and solution to show how the tailor solves the bean's problem of having exploded.
Answer:
The statement that best explains the structure of the passage is:
C. The author uses cause and effect to show that the tailor's repair causes the bean to have a black line.
Explanation:
We must read the full passage before we can choose the best answer. We might be tempted to choose the option that speaks of chronological order, since the author does use it to build the story in the proper sequence.<u> It is only in the end that we get to see the purpose of the passage. When the author says, "The bean thanked him most prettily, but as the tailor used black thread, all beans since then have a black seam," it is revealed that the passage is actually telling us the cause behind the black spot every bean has. The cause is the black thread used by the tailor to mend a bean that had exploded. The effect is the black spot itself. Therefore, the best option is letter C.</u>
