How is the meaning of stage different in the lives of Evelyn and Bismillah Khan?

Correct answer: For Evelyn stage is victory over limitation and for Bismillah it is prestige of shehnai

The governing concept is comparison: the same public stage can represent different kinds of achievement for different artists. For Evelyn Glennie, performing successfully before an audience demonstrates that profound hearing loss cannot prevent her from becoming a musician. The stage therefore becomes a place where she overcomes a physical limitation and proves her ability through disciplined performance. For Bismillah Khan, public performances give the shehnai dignity and establish it as a respected classical instrument rather than merely a folk or ceremonial pipe. Thus option A is correct. Options B, C and D are contradicted by the artists' extensive performances and the importance of public recognition in their careers.
