Answer 1

Answer:

Based on the dialogue, the statement that best describes Annie is:

B. She cares about Helen's life.

Explanation:

Annie Sullivan is hired to teach Helen Keller, at the time just a child. Helen is deaf and blind, and it is Annie who will teach her how to communicate.

In this particular excerpt, Annie is worried about Helen's life. She does not want the people around Helen to try to make things too easy for her because of her disabilities. Anne knows the world is a difficult place to live in, so she thinks Helen needs to be prepared to face it. Having that in mind, the best option is B. She cares about Helen's life.
