Which stereotype is broken by Evelyn's clear speech and learning languages in the lesson?

That differently abled persons cannot have all-round growth

The governing concept is the rejection of stereotypes about disability. Evelyn’s hearing loss affects one sensory ability, but it does not prevent her from developing clear speech, learning languages, studying, practising, performing, and communicating confidently. These details establish her as a complete and capable person rather than someone defined by a single limitation. Option A is correct because it identifies the false belief that a differently abled person cannot achieve broad personal and intellectual development. Options B and C are positive ideas supported by the lesson, while D is an unrelated observation about performance and identity. The lesson therefore encourages ability-based, not limitation-based, judgement.
