Explanation:

To support the statement, we analyze the text. The sentence "There was so much potential in the imagined removal of the birthmark; any fool on the bus could play the game of guessing how perfect she would look without it" shows that the anticipation (imagined removal, guessing) was full of potential, implying it was better than the actual outcome (her winnings were the absence of something with a negative quality). Other parts talk about outcomes, but this focuses on the anticipation's value.

Answer:

There was so much potential in the imagined removal of the birthmark; any fool on the bus could play the game of guessing how perfect she would look without it.
