What is the most mature combined message of the chapter?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: True art crosses limits to give dignity to the person and glory to tradition
The governing concept is the transformative power of sustained artistic practice. Evelyn’s achievement shows that disability need not define a person or limit ambition; through training and a new way of sensing vibrations, she earns recognition for genuine musical ability. Bismillah Khan’s story shows another kind of achievement: patient practice and loyalty to the shehnai and to Indian musical heritage raise a traditionally less prominent instrument to great artistic dignity. Option A therefore expresses the mature combined message. Option B reduces music to entertainment, C wrongly treats disability and tradition as obstacles, and D confuses external awards with the deeper values of skill, devotion, and cultural contribution.
