Question

Keller's parents wanted their daughter to get an education. There were no schools for deaf and blind children in Alabama when Keller was a child. The Kellers wrote to a special school for the blind called the Perkins Institute. They sent a young woman named Anne Sullivan to be Keller's teacher. Sullivan was also nearly blind because she had been sick as a child. This helped her understand Keller's challenges. At first Keller kicked and screamed and would not learn from Sullivan. Sullivan persevered, she never gave up. She taught Keller to communicate, read, write and speak. Sullivan traveled with Keller to school and later to college. Sullivan remained Keller's teacher and close friend for the rest of her life.

B

C
It was hard at first, but they succeeded.

D
It was easier than they thought it would be.
