Read the excerpt from Story of My Life by Helen Keller.

Meanwhile the desire to express myself grew. The few signs I used became less and less adequate, and my failures to make myself understood were invariably followed by outbursts of passion. I felt as if invisible hands were holding me, and I made frantic efforts to free myself. I struggled—not that struggling helped matters, but the spirit of resistance was strong within me; I generally broke down in tears and physical exhaustion. If my mother happened to be near I crept into her arms, too miserable even to remember the cause of the tempest. After awhile the need of some means of communication became so urgent that these outbursts occurred daily, sometimes hourly.

My parents were deeply grieved and perplexed. We lived a long way from any school for the blind or the deaf, and it seemed unlikely that any one would come to such an out-of-the-way place as Tuscumbia to teach a child who was both deaf and blind. Indeed, my friends and relatives sometimes doubted whether I could be taught. My mother's only ray of hope came from Dickens's "American Notes." She had read his account of Laura Bridgman, and remembered vaguely that she was deaf and blind, yet had been educated. But she also remembered with a hopeless pang that Dr. Howe, who had discovered the way to teach the deaf and blind, had been dead many years. His methods had probably died with him; and if they had not, how was a little girl in a far-off town in Alabama to receive the benefit of them?

Which answer choice is the best summary of the excerpt?

A. Laura Bridgman was deaf and blind, and she had been educated. Helen needed to be educated like Laura Bridgman so that she could express herself.

B. Helen had frequent outbursts because she needed a means of communication. Helen’s mother began looking for someone to educate Helen.

C. Dr. Howe had developed methods of teaching the deaf and blind, but he had been dead for many years. Helen’s parents had difficulty finding her a teacher.

D. Helen’s friends and relatives didn’t think she could be taught. Helen’s mother read about Laura Bridgman, who was deaf and blind and had been educated.

Answer:

B. Helen had frequent outbursts because she needed a means of communication. Helen’s mother began looking for someone to educate Helen.
