Read the poem given below and answer the following question. She never got to dance Or go to her own prom. She never got the chance To forget where she came from.
She never got to kiss, A man she idolized. She never felt love's bliss, 'Cause she was paralyzed.
She never got to talk About love with a smile. She never got to walk Down a church's aisle.
She never got to say Those precious words, "I Do." But she was far and away The strongest girl I ever knew.
She couldn't brush her hair Or put make up on her face. She couldn't hold you dear Or give you a warm embrace.
She couldn't clasp her hands As if in the form of prayer. She couldn't understand Why she was in a wheelchair.
She never showed her fears Or let you hear her cries. She never showed the tears That fell down from her eyes.
She never looked for pity Or sympathy from you. That's why she'll always be The strongest girl I ever knew. |
Why could ‘she’ not enjoy the simple pleasures of life? |
because of her lover because of her disability because of the society because of her mental illness |
because of her disability |
The correct answer is OPTION 2 -because of her disability The poem highlights the struggles of a girl who was unable to experience simple joys like dancing, falling in love, or even performing basic tasks such as brushing her hair. The repeated references to her being paralyzed and in a wheelchair indicate that her inability to enjoy these moments was due to her physical disability rather than external factors like societal pressure or mental illness.
