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 is ‘she’ called ‘the strongest girl I knew..’? |
because she didn’t feel any pain because she never cried because she never showed her fears because she never married |
because she never showed her fears |
The correct answer is option 3 -because she never showed her fears The poem describes a girl who faced significant challenges due to her disability. Despite her struggles, she remained strong by not showing her fears, not seeking pity, and enduring her difficulties with quiet resilience. The line "She never showed her fears or let you hear her cries." directly supports the idea that her strength came from her ability to conceal her pain and stay emotionally strong. |
