Which idea is challenged by Evelyn feeling music through her whole body?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: That music can be understood only through ears
The governing idea is that music is experienced through more than ordinary hearing. Because Evelyn Glennie became profoundly deaf, she trained herself to notice vibrations through different parts of her body, including her feet, skin and bones. This allowed her to identify rhythm, pitch and movement in a different but highly disciplined way. Therefore, option A is correct: her experience challenges the narrow belief that music can be understood only through the ears. Options B, C and D are not challenged; the lesson actually supports practice, guidance and artistic discipline. Her achievement shows adaptation rather than the absence of musical understanding.
