you could tell : わかった

<解説>
「tell + 人」は「言う・伝える・教える」という意味になるが、「人」が続かない「tell」は「分かる・気づく」という意味になります。「理解する」という「分かる」ではなく「察することができる」「見て分かる」という意味です。

Answer 2

taka

The kid would come in, and you could tell [(that)(接続詞) he(S1) was(V1) very happy to see/find? <that(接続詞) the glove(S2) was(V2) still there>]
その子はよく店に入って来て、そして〔＜そのグローブがまだそこにあると＞知るととても嬉しそうにするの］が見て分かった。

注記：①you could tell …　あなたは…を見て分かることができた　→　見てわかった　
tell …　…を見分ける、…が見て分かる　　you:この文章を読んでいる読者を「あなた(達)は」と言っているので、あえて訳す必要はない
②would ～　～したものである＜過去の習慣＞

以上です。
