these a long line starting from 2nd floor overhang stairway towards the arch
where the kitchen opens to the den, what could be the probable cause of
this line? house built in 2002.
Sorry can not type Chinese now.

显然没联系。这个是drywall。

地基没问题。感觉是做什么活动太激烈了，把房子晃裂了

When did the crack start to appear? If it has been there a long time ago,
then the foundation has already settled so you don't need to worry. I would
worry more if it just started.

Don't know when the line started, it looks just like an uneven line, there
is not a visible gap (or there might be gap covered by paint).
There are some other issues, I am afraid of the window glass cracking has
soemthing to do with foundation as well:
From seller's disclosure:
1. The sellers checked "No" to disposal, does that mean there is no garbage
disposal installed under the sink? Hard to believe.
2. “Master ceiling patch repaired after minor upstairs toilet leak.”
- don't know when this happened.
3. “Roof flashing sticking up after hurricane Ike, no leak & repaired
immediately”.
4. “Front entry window crack on internal pane since year home built, Rear ?
? window crack on external pane”
- Is the cracking an ongoing issue? did it occur again after repair, or it
was never repaired? Please fill in the illegible words in the question marks.
5. “Kitchen molding (?) swelled after mop(?) water leaked under caulks(?)”
- Which location(s) of the kitchen has this swelling? Are they close to the
kitchen floor?
6. One vertical line on the wall by the kitchen starting from the bottom of
overhung 2nd floor stairway extending towards the arched kitchen wall facing
the den, have the sellers noticed this? What is the possible cause?
7. What about the crack (about 15” long, 1/8” wide gap) on the ceiling on
one of the 2nd floor bedroom?
