Question
select the excerpt from the story of my life by helen keller that shows a different perspective of similar events.
the morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. the little blind children at the perkins institution had sent it and laura bridgman had dressed it; but i did not know this until afterward. when i played with it a little while, miss sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word \d - o - l - l\. i was at once interes finger play and tried to imitate it. when i finally succeeded in making the letters correctly i was flushed with cha pleasure and pride. running downstairs to my mother i held up my hand and made the letters for doll.
as the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other hand the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. i stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. suddenly i felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten - a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. i knew then that \w - a - t - e - r\ meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. that living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! there were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away.
a bright idea, however, shot into my mind, and the problem was solved. i tumbled off the seat and searched under it played a little while, miss sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word \d - o - l - l\. i was at once interes finger play and tried to imitate it. when i finally succeeded in making the letters correctly i was flushed with cha pleasure and pride. running downstairs to my mother i held up my hand and made the letters for doll.

earlier in the day we had had a tussle over the words \m - u - g\ and \w - a - t - e - r\. miss sullivan had tried to impress it
The first three options describe events from Helen Keller's perspective, focusing on her experiences with Miss Sullivan, the doll, and learning words like "doll" and "water." The fourth option, however, shows a different perspective by revealing that earlier in the day there was a tussle over the words "m - u - g" and "w - a - t - e - r." This provides additional context about a prior conflict that the other options do not mention, thus showing a different perspective of similar events (related to language learning with Miss Sullivan).
