ANNIE: Well – Bright or dull, to start off. ANAGNOS: No one knows. And if she is dull, you have no patience with this? ANNIE: Oh, in grownups you have to, Mr. Anagnos, I mean in children it just seems a little – precocious, can I use that word? ANAGNOS: Only if you can spell it. ANNIE: Premature. So I hope at least she's a bright one. Which of these statements provides the best summary of the scene?
Anagnos and Annie discuss Annie's future student, and Annie wonders about her potential.
Explanation:
"The Miracle Worker" based off Helen Keller's autobiography "The Story of My Life" revolves around the events that led Helen to start her life from being deaf and blind to someone who can almost do anything despite her disability.
The passage from the text shows the teacher Annie Sullivan and Anagnos, a stocky bearded man discussing the future student of Miss Annie. She has been recruited/ hired by the Kellers to try to help their disabled daughter learn about her disability and maybe even life a life. As a teacher/ helper of numerous special needs children, Miss Annie immediately wonders what potential the new student might have and how she will have to approach her.
