This question is regarding "Rules of the Game" by Amy Tan. From the passages about "invisible strength" and Waverly's mother stating that the "strongest wind cannot be seen we can infer that Waverly's mother values strength that can be found in restraint and silence. This can be seen when Waverly cries for candy at the candy store and her mother tells her to "bite her tongue". That time she doesn't get the candy, but the next time they go to the candy store Waverly stays quiet and receives candy. This is the mother's way of rewarding her for staying silent.

PART A

The correct answer is option A.

By using words such as studied, learned, and lessons, Keller helps readers understand that spending time in the natural world was a positive experience that taught her a great deal.

In paragraph 1, we can say that Helen's description of nature was a great deal as it taught her all she now knows. Hence the line, “The loveliness of things taught me all their use”. She describes nature as a teacher without which she would not have been able to understand things.

We can also say that the "outdoor" lessons helped her a great deal.

PART B

The correct answer is B.

It captures how excited Keller was to experience the natural world and learn from it.

Helen Keller could not wait to experience more of the natural world. She was excited to learn from nature as she finds solace in it. Hence, "Sometimes I rose at dawn and stole into the garden while the heavy dew lay on the grass and flowers".
