Which career did Evelyn Glennie choose despite her hearing disability?

Correct answer: A career as a musician

Evelyn Glennie chose a career in music despite her severe hearing difficulty and became an internationally recognised percussionist. Her choice is especially significant because she did not treat the disability as a reason to abandon the field she loved. By learning to experience rhythm and sound through vibrations, she developed the skills needed for professional performance. Option A is correct because it identifies both her chosen field and the central achievement described in the lesson. Options B, C, and D are unrelated careers and are not supported by the account. The important concept is perseverance: a physical limitation did not prevent her from pursuing her musical goal.
