On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant.

Answer:

The day she met her teacher was the “most important day” of Helen’s life is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrasts between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.

Miss Sullivan would repeatedly write words on Helen's palm with a demonstration to make her understand what was written on her palm but Helen did not understand as she thought it was just a game.

Miss Sullivan, for instance, would hand over a doll to Helen and write the word doll on her palm, in a motion. Helen amused, and repeated the demonstration with her mother's palm, still could not make any connection between the word,  and the object.  And this continued for weeks until one day, at the pump, Sullivan held Helen's hand under the pump as she spelled the word, <em>"Water"</em>.

That moment was significant in Helen's life as she was able to make a connection between the word and the water as it flowed on her palm.

It transformed her life for the best. Immediately, she could communicate and no longer had to live in isolation.

Answer:

The correct answer is "The day she met her teacher was the 'most important day' of Helen's life."

Explanation:

The 'central idea' of a literary piece <em>(i.e., The Story of My Life by Hellen Keller) </em>refers to its main theme. It ties together all the other work contents. The central idea <u>encompasses or unites all the elements of the story</u>.

The central idea can be found either at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of the story.

In the sample passage given in the question, <em>the central idea is found at the beginning</em>, which is, <u>"The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me." </u>

If you look into the following sentences in the passage, it all supports the main theme or the central idea. Also, in the given choices, you will notice that all of it are sub-parts or supporting details of the central idea. All of the following contributes to the most important day in Keller's life:

  • On March 3, 1887, Anne was seven years old.
  • Helen was waiting on the porch and sensed something important was happening.
  • Helen Keller knew something unusual was about to happen.
