Responses
A) You can be happy if you really try.
B) Don’t let your disability interfere with your abilities.
C) Winning requires a good attitude.
D) Face every day with a sense of humor.
I chose B "Don’t let your disability interfere with your abilities"
That is a good choice! B best expresses the theme of the novel.
That's correct! A does not provide text evidence to support the theme of Out of My Mind, as it mainly describes the protagonist's condition and abilities rather than the theme itself.

I chose b) “What your body looks like has nothing to do with how well your brain works!”
