If a combined title for the chapter has to be chosen, which is the most suitable?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Victory over Limits through Devotion
The governing concept in title selection is the central idea shared by both sections, not a minor event or a single achievement. Evelyn Glennie overcomes the severe limitation of hearing loss through guidance, courage, changed perception and sustained practice. Bismillah Khan develops extraordinary mastery through devotion to the shehnai, while remaining connected with his cultural roots and helping the instrument gain wider respect. A suitable combined title must therefore express effort, dedication and triumph over barriers. Option A does this most accurately. The other titles are either negative, too narrow or contrary to the hopeful movement of both stories.
