Question

from three days to see
by helen keller
i have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and
deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. darkness would make him
more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
new and then i have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. recently i asked
a friend, who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, what she had observed.
“nothing in particular,” she replied.
what is the main idea of “three days to see”？
○ few people lead satisfying lives.
○ beauty can be experienced primarily through sight.
○ people often take their sight and hearing for granted.
○ a true friend recognizes the emotional changes in the face of another person.

Explanation:

The text from "Three Days to See" by Helen Keller talks about how people might not value their sight and hearing enough. The author thinks that being deprived of these senses (like being blind or deaf for a while) would make people appreciate them more. Among the options, "People often take their sight and hearing for granted" matches this idea. The other options don't align: the first is about satisfying lives, the second is about beauty through sight, and the fourth is about true friends, which are not the main focus here.

Answer:

B. People often take their sight and hearing for granted.
