Question

People who are deaf can communicate in sign language. This is a language made of hand gestures. Anne Sullivan taught Helen Keller to communicate using the sign language alphabet. Sullivan would sign the letters into the palm of Keller's hand. This is called fingerspelling. At first Keller did not understand the connection between the letters in her palm and actual words. One day Sullivan took Keller to the water pump in the yard. She pumped water over one of Keller's hands while signing the word W-A-T-E-R into the other. Keller finally understood. After learning one word, she wanted to learn everything. Keller learned 30 more words that day. Her vocabulary grew so quickly that, only one year later, she was ready to go to school.

Which detail from the passage best shows that Helen Keller was curious?

A
"At first Keller did not understand the connection…"

B

C

D
