What does Evelyn Glennie's success prove?

Correct answer: Disability cannot stop talent

Option A is correct because Evelyn Glennie’s career shows that a physical disability does not automatically prevent talent, learning or achievement. Although she gradually lost her hearing, she found a different way to experience music by recognising vibrations through her body. She also accepted expert guidance and practised persistently until she became a celebrated percussionist. Her success does not mean that disability creates no difficulty; rather, it proves that difficulty need not destroy a person’s possibilities when determination, adaptation and support are present. The other options are contradicted by the account: music was central to her achievement, practice helped her, and a teacher played an important guiding role.
