Which statement from Number the Stars contains a cause-effect relationship?
Mama and Kirsti had gone inside, but Annemarie and Ellen ran across the high-grassed meadow, through the late wildflowers.
Across the hall, Kirsti was already asleep in the wide bed that had once belonged to Annemarie's grandparents.
From downstairs, they could hear Mama's voice, and Uncle Henrik's, talking, catching up on news.
Because Mama came to Gilleleje to live with Henrik, he didn't have to do all the chores by himself.
