If the central idea of the chapter is to be stated in one sentence, what is most suitable?

Correct answer: True devotion can turn obstacles into achievement and tradition into glory

The central idea must unite both sections instead of describing only one biography. Evelyn’s story shows that determined training can transform a physical obstacle into artistic achievement and an inspiring identity. Bismillah Khan’s story shows that devoted practice can elevate a traditional Indian instrument and make it a source of national and international pride. Option A is therefore the most suitable one-sentence summary because it includes perseverance, achievement, tradition and cultural honour. B trivialises music, C denies its social influence, and D wrongly suggests that natural talent alone, without practice, guarantees success.
