Of course, I can help you understand the question. The question is asking which passage from the text best supports the story's theme of perseverance. In other words, which passage shows a character's determination and persistence in the face of challenges or obstacles.
To answer this question, you need to analyze each passage and determine if it demonstrates perseverance. Here's a breakdown of each passage:
A. "I followed Father's orders faithfully." This passage shows obedience and loyalty, but it doesn't necessarily illustrate perseverance.
B. "And like Father, she was not afraid to talk to me like an equal." This passage focuses on the relationship between two characters, and it doesn't directly relate to perseverance.
C. "I wrote several drafts of it and then copied it out in the fine, elegant hand Miss Whitlaw had taught me." This passage shows the character's effort and dedication to improving their writing. It highlights the process of rewriting and perfecting the work, which indicates perseverance.
D. "The next morning, I found that Father had picked up the letter and smoothed it out on the table as best he could." This passage doesn't directly mention perseverance. It shows the father's reaction to the letter but doesn't focus on the character's persistence.
Based on this analysis, it seems that passage C, "I wrote several drafts of it and then copied it out in the fine, elegant hand Miss Whitlaw had taught me," best supports the theme of perseverance.
