Question

read the excerpt from \daughter of invention\.
\maybe not. maybe, just maybe, theres something theyve missed thats important. with patience and calm, even a burro can climb a palm.\ this last was one of her many dominican sayings she had imported into her scrambled english.
what is the meaning of the idiom underlined in the excerpt?
○ anything can be accomplished.
○ anyone can make money.
○ a little encouragement goes a long way.
○ every story needs to have a point.

Explanation:

The idiom "even a burro can climb a palm" in the context of the excerpt (with patience and calm) suggests that with the right approach (patience, calm), seemingly difficult or impossible tasks (a burro, not known for climbing, climbing a palm) can be done. This aligns with "Anything can be accomplished". The other options: "Anyone can make money" is unrelated to the idiom's context; "A little encouragement goes a long way" doesn't match as the focus is on patience/calm for accomplishment, not encouragement; "Every story needs to have a point" is irrelevant to the idiom's meaning.

Answer:

A. Anything can be accomplished.
