Read the excerpt from Story of My Life by Helen Keller. When we arrived in Baltimore, Dr. Chisholm received us kindly: but he co

uld do nothing. He said, however, that I could be educated, and advised my father to consult Dr. Alexander Graham Bell of Washington, who would be able to give him information about schools and teachers of deaf or blind children. Acting on the doctor's advice, we went immediately to Washington to see Dr. Bell, my father with a sad heart and many misgivings, I wholly unconscious of his anguish, finding pleasure in the excitement of moving from place to place. Child as I was, I at once felt the tenderness and sympathy which endeared Dr. Bell to so many hearts, as his wonderful achievements enlist their admiration. He held me on his knee while I examined his watch, and he made it strike for me. He understood my signs, and I knew it and loved him at once. But I did not dream that that interview would be the door through which I should pass from darkness into light, from isolation to friendship, companionship, knowledge, love. Which answer choice is the best summary of the excerpt?

On the advice of a Dr. Chisholm, Helen and her father went to Washington to meet Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, who could help them find a teacher for Helen. Helen loved Dr. Bell immediately, and meeting him changed her life. Helen went to Baltimore. Then Dr. Chisholm received them kindly. Her father was advised to see Dr. Alexander Graham Bell. They moved around from place to place. Helen went to Washington to see Dr. Bell, and she loved him. He held her on his knee while she examined his watch, and he understood her signs. She had been advised to see Dr. Bell by Dr. Chisholm.
