Read the excerpt from "The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean.”

The bean, who had prudently stayed behind on the shore, could not but laugh at the event, was unable to stop, and laughed so heartily that she burst. It would have been all over with her, likewise, if, by good fortune, a tailor who was travelling in search of work had not sat down to rest by the brook.

As he had a compassionate heart he pulled out his needle and thread, and sewed her together. The bean thanked him most prettily, but as the tailor used black thread, all beans since then have a black seam.

What is the structure of the text?

The text we are analyzing here uses a cause-and-effect structure. That means the author presents an event (the cause) that has a result (the effect). In the story, the bean bursts itself open for laughing too much, and a tailor decides to sew it.

Because the tailor uses a black piece of thread, the bean ends up having a black seam. Therefore, we have:

  • Cause - the use of the black thread to sew
  • Effect - the black seam all beans now have

With the information above in mind, we can select option C as the correct answer for this question. The structure of the text is cause and effect.
