Consider the passage and theme.

Ria was thrilled when her doctor removed her cast. It had only been a month, but the inconvenience of wearing a cast and using crutches had been a constant challenge. She had learned that her high school, while accessible, was not easy to navigate with crutches. The stairs were treacherous, and the elevator was slow, but what bothered Ria the most were the entrances. Since her high school sat on a hill with a wide, concrete stairway to the front door, all of the ramps were at entrances far off her usual course.

Fortunately, Ria made some new friends venturing to and from the ramps. She noticed that these friends were upbeat and determined, and they had more interesting things to discuss than the minor inconvenience of a ramp. Still, when the student council asked for suggestions about a class project, Ria submitted a proposal for a front-entrance ramp instead of the high-def scoreboard she had once prioritized.

Theme One: Lessons are often learned through one's struggles.

Injuries are a stumbling block to maintaining good health.
Considering life from a new point of view is enlightening.
High school projects allow students to improve their schools.
Learning to make new friends is an important social skill.

Respuesta :

Considering life from a new point of view is enlightening.

Ria is forced into a temporary, but new point of view and as a result is enlightened or learns something new about herself and others. The idea of a struggle by other individuals, who are "set to the side" or ignored is clearly a component of the passage. Ria is introduced to these people who possibly do not have the "temporary" status of being handicapped like Ria. Instead it is something they deal with long-term and perhaps permanently. She learns that their struggle should be appreciated and instead of being cast to the side or seen as a burden, should co-exist with her and her classmates and also be allowed to use and have access to the same facilities as Ria and her classmates.

(B) - Considering life from a new point of view is enlightening.
