Which answer is an example of a cause-and-effect relationship in the story?



“Wish I could stay calm / no matter what / my brothers say.”


“Father would appear in our doorway / and make Mother’s lips / curl upward, / lifting them from / a permanent frown / of worries.”


“I dye my mouth / sugary black / and insist on / stories.”


“At this point, / Mother closes her eyes, / eyes that resemble no one else’s, / sunken and deep like Westerners’ / yet almond-shaped like ours.”

Answer 1

I think its the second one. “Father would appear in our doorway / and make Mother’s lips / curl upward, / lifting them from / a permanent frown / of worries.”

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure what the question means exactly, but I think your asking which one is a cause-and-effect? I think its the second one because the Father standing in the doorway is the cause, and the Mother's lips curl upward is the effect. The others don't have causes or effects. I hope that helps you?
