there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”

did you ever figure it out?

basic principle: a pronoun usually refers to something earlier in the text (its antecedent) and must agree in number — singular/plural — with the thing to which it refers. the indefinite pronouns anyone, anybody, everyone, everybody, someone, somebody, no one, and nobody are always singular.

now lets look at the choices we have

a)students as entrepreneurs

b)courage and determination

c) artificial intelligence

i don't think ai (artificial intelligence) has anything to do with this.

(a) would be wrong because entrepreneurs are people who start their own business.

so it came out to be b i think this is the right answer because you will need courage to make your own stories/skit and you will need determination to keep on going even if you mess up.

the answer would be b.
