The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not include any text, book, or reference of these lines. You neither included the options for this question.
However, doing some deep research trying to help you, we found that you are referring to the book titled "The Story of My Life," written by Helen Keller.
So knowing that valuable information, we can say the following.
What Helen is comparing herself to is with the moment in her life where she had no clue about what to do with her path. She said that those moments were like she advanced without a compass, having no clue at all where "the harbor was."
The exact words she used in her text are: <em>"I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbor was."</em>
That is why she thinks that her education was essential to fiend her way, Her education gave her knowledge, and most importantly, it gave her direction.
Answer: E) My mother considered the idea of a child sleeping alone a cruel American practice.
This sentence shows that the mother had a cultural background that was different from the American one. Even though for most Americans, a child sleeping alone would be common, for her it was a cruel practice. The excerpt shows that Hema's mother does not endorse all American practices, which indicates she has a different cultural heritage, in this case, a Bengali one.
