Answer:

F. If you're going to be an inventor or creator, it's important to not be afraid to take risks.

Explanation:

In "Daughter of Invention" by J. Alvarez,  we are told about a family that migrated to America and wanted to start a new life.

The daughters were trying to cope in American schools. The mother was an  inventor who was inventing things. Cukita, one of the daughters the family was asked to write a speech to deliver during the Teacher's Day. Her daddy wasn't happy with what Cukita wrote. He torn it which made Cukita sad. But her mother assisted her to write another one which became the one that the nuns in her school loved and appreciated.

We see in the story that Cukita tried expressing herself but was discouraged by her daddy. After the discouragement from her dad, she was not afraid to rewrite the speech despite all that happened.
